Name: Pohilip Vallance
Spouse Name: Elizabeth Jenkins
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 11 Apr 1838
Parish: Queen Square St George the Martyr
Borough: Camden
Register Type: Parish Register

Witnesses Daniel Walker and Ann Price. Old style register so no info on occupation or names of fathers and their occupations given.

Marriage for James Vallance from the family of Philip and Elizabeth in census 1851.

Again his father is listed as a schoolmaster, rather than an instrument maker.

As Reggie asked, how do you know Charles' father was an instrument maker?

Name: James Vallance
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1846
Age: 21
Spouse Name: Alice Seymour

Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 10 Dec 1867
Parish: Hammersmith St Peter
Borough: Hammersmith and Fulham
Father Name: Philip Vallance
Spouse Father Name: Thomas Seymour
Register Type: Parish Register

One witness was Elizabeth Sarah Banks - could that be the married name of his sister Elizabeth Sarah Vallance aged 10 in 1851?

Yes it was, and again, father Philip described as schoolmaster:

Spouse Name: Edward Banks
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 24 Jan 1865

There does seem to be another Vallance family in the same area who were brass instrument makers, but no obvious connection to Charles:

Thanks for the info, I also thought he might be related to the Vallance Joseph and Adrew but can find no really evidence.

Jean

I've had a PM, saying that the father's name is KNOWN............a pity we haven't had the benefit of that info

So, who is the father? Or have I missed something!


:-S


Is this your tree at Ancestry?


Jabez Charles Vallance
perks Family Tree
Birth: Apr 1844 - Middlesex (London)
Parents: Phillip Vallance, Elizabeth Jenkins
Spouse: Francis Vallance



So, as I said earlier, I would think that this 'this' is Charles


England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915
Name: Jabez Charles Vallance
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1844
Registration district: St George Hanover Square
Inferred County: London
Volume: 1
Page: 40

If you missed it Gins, I missed it too!

Plus the evidence for his occupation also being musical instrument maker...

Opening post seems to have been edited/updated with father's name?

If I'd known it was also Charles, would have saved me going down the 'wrong' line. :-(

Thanks K, not just me then!!


Jean, if you cant find a birth or Charles with his parents on the censuses, how do you know his fathers name and occupation?

Jean, its best to post on here, rather than send PMs, that way everyone can see the info and help

PM

Thanks for the reply, problem with Jabez being Charles-his father was a school master and not an instrument maker. On Charles marriage certt. the father is down as Charles Vallance musical instrument maker.
RegardsJean


Can you post all the details from the marriage certificate, address, witnesses etc
