Hi just found marriage for John and Barbara
1946 WALLACE JOHN DENNIS FORSYTH BARBARA AGNES BLYTHSWOOD GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/08 1961

Hi Dea
I found a death for a John Denis Wallace Liverpool in 1980 he is not the same family that John was born 1914.

This is very probably a 'red herring' but I am posting it because it puzzles me !

I have this family coming over in 1955 - A little late if the details of David's birth are correct, I know, BUT the birth date of John is only 4 days out AND his wife's name is Barbara>>>

As I say, probably nothing to do with 'your' John but I would be interested if anyone can find something to eliminate it.

Hi Just found the marriage details on Scotlandspeople for Robert and Annie Elliot 10/12/1921 Canongate Edinburgh there is a John Wallace born 1924 Canongate there to brill

'Was he married in Scotland? If so, his marriage cert will give both his parents names. You can search for the marriage on the scotlandspeople site and order the cert through that site. It is a pay-to-view site and you will need to buy credits. John's birth should also be on that site and you will be able to view and download the original entry.

On their arrival back in Scotland in 1929 they listed "country of intended future permanent residence" as "other parts of the British Empire". So it seems that they weren't intending to stay in Scotland.

FANTASTIC thank you all for your super help does anyone see a marriage for Annie and Robert of John Dennis and Barbara
