Not sure whether to post on this Forum or on the Brick Wall Forum. I am trying to trace a family from Dundee named John and Catherine Walls who had a son named James Edward Walls b. 3 July 1902 in Manchester. I have no other dates or places so it may be impossible to pinpoint them but its worth a try.
Any help appreciated.

Can't see them in Lancs in 1901 but in 1911 they are living in Ashton under Lyne.
John 36 a Police Costable and Catherine 35, both born Dundee, with children James Edward 8, John 6, Hector 4 and Nora 2, all born in Lancashire.
In theory the children's births should be on the GRO site which will give you Catherine's maiden name. Sorry but haven't got time to look them up just now.

You could try a search on Scotland’s People for their marriage. It looks as though James was the eldest, which gives you a possible date range, and they possibly married in Dundee before they left. Also, try the 1901 census for Dundee since Emeltee couldn’t find them in Lancs.
PS If you can’t find them, try Wallis.

Nora and Hector's birth registrations on the GRO index give the mother's maiden name as McIntasney. So do those of James and John.

Forgive my ignorance, I haven't done any searching Scottish records before - what's Wallis?
