Notes:

There is no record of his birth in the Parish Registers of Brechin. In the 1851 Census he was listed as being 10 months old, so since the Census was taken on 30th March 1851, he must have been born in May 1850. The family was living at Upper Tenements, Brechin. In the 1861 Census he was 10 - living at home in Montrose Street, Brechin During the 1871 Census, he was aged 20 and noted as "visiting" his brother, William at 95 High Street, Laurencekirk, and was unmarried at that time. His occupation is given a a Mechanic. Wallace, aged 30, was married to Elizabeth Watts, aged 27, on 21st December 1880 - his occupation was given as a Mechanic in a Linen Factory, hers was a seamstress. Their witnesses were Mary Ann Scott, either his sister, or his niece through his brother Alexander, and David Fergussen Scott, his nephew through Alexander. By the 1881 Census he was living at Damacre Road, Andersons Propy (?Property?) His occupation is listed as an Engine Fitter at a (Linen?) Works. Elizabeth is listed as a Staymaker. By the 1891 Census at age 40, he had five children under 10 years - the last two being twins. He had become a Foreman Mechanic by this time and was living at 66 High Street, Brechin. By the 1901 Census he had had another daughter, born in1893. They were still living at Brechin but had moved to 21 Southesk Street.His occupation is given as a Foreman Engineer at the Linen Works. Wallace died, aged 88, on 28th May 1938 at 21 Southesk Street, Brechin. Elizabeth died there, aged 90, on 12th April 1944. Both deaths were registered by their son, Wallace.

Notes:

The 1841 Census lists his first seven children. His occupation is listed as a Linen Neb (?) Starcher and living at Upper Terenements (Tenements) of Caldhame (shown on the 1822 Brechin map) In the 1851 Census he was living at 'Upper Tenements', Brechin and listed as a Linen Weaver. It also lists 8 of his children - Christine has left home and is 'living-in' as a servant with the Mathers (a Procurator in Forfar) in Penmure Street. No record of his son David in this Census nor in the 1861 Census and subsequent ones. In the 1861 Census he was living at 145 Montrose Street, Brechin - (the number is not listed, but is in the right sequence (and is confirmed elsewhere - and also marked "see memorandum book" - but why is not clear) and again listed as a Linen Weaver. Seven children are still living at home - Christine is back, but George and Margaret have now left. N.B. James' age is now given as 32 and Alexander's as 29 when they should have been reversed - I believe that the names were listed in the wrong order. On son Williams's marriage certificate he is listed as a Handloom Linen Weaver. His sixth son, John R(andall?), was witness at his fifth son George's marriage to Mary Anne Duguid in 1865 He and Ann were living at 95 High Street, Laurencekirk with their son William at the time of the 1871 Census.
