PM from Theresa:

I have noted the latest info, just have to put it together over the weekend. The female children of Thomas (who came to Australia) lived to at least 88 and 90 yo.
Sincere thanks
Theresa

I'm wondering about this one for the birth of George Wallace.

George Wallace
Scotland Births and Baptisms
Name George Wallace
Gender Male
Birth Date 14 Oct 1862
Birthplace DAIRSIE,FIFE,SCOTLAND
Father's Name Thomas Wallace
Mother's Name Catherine Simpson

It would make sense that his daughter Georgina was given the middle name of Simpson.

The 2 census shown above have him born c 1863 and I'll repeat the 1901, this time from Find My Past which shows his birth place as Dairsie not Davisie

1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
37, Main Street, Lochgelly, Ballingry, Fife, Scotland

George Wallace Head Married Male 38 1863 Labourer Coal Mine Above Ground Dairsie, Fife, Scotland

Thomas Wallace Son Single Male 14 1887 Coal Miner Drawer Kingskettle, Fife, Scotland
Georgina S Wallace Daughter - Female 10 1891 Scholar Lochgelly, Fife, Scotland

1891 shows him born Newmill, Cupar, Fife less 2 miles from Dairsie
