Parents of William Wallace and Rachael Curry?

Question

Looking for more information regarding the parents of both William Wallace (1801-?) and his wife Rachael Curry (1795-?). They had several children together including;

William James Wallace 1861-1905

Eliza J Wallace 1856-?

Thomas H Wallace 1859-1948

Emma Wallace 1863-1883

Frances A Wallace 1866-?

I would like to trace this line back further and find out if they are from Ireland or Scotland (Wallace clan?) and where exactly they came from. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would check the proposed dates you have for William Wallace (1801-?) and his wife Rachael Curry (1795-?). If they had the children you state, Rachel would have been 71 at the birth of Frances. I don't think so.

Also, do you have a place that you have found this couple or any of their children? At least a country will help trace them.

I know his wife was from Ireland. I am not sure about William. I was always told that the line was Scottish. As for the birth of Frances. I am not sure, this is what I was able to get on Ancestry.com
