Walkerina Wallace Scotland, Ireland and USA
simkin
hi, i am looking for what happened to Walkerina Wallace, who had a romantic relationship in 1867 with Brockholst Livingston Power, son of Dr Maurice and Catherine Power nee Livingston. Maurice was a MP of co cork Ireland and Catherine was a daughter of Judge Henry Livingston of America. Walkerina and Brockholst secretly married in Dublin in December 1867 and she delivered a son James in January 1868 according to family stories. in 1873 Walkerina had a daughter Mary Jeannette. by 1875 Brockholst was in the army in Germany and by 1877 he is in New Zealand where he married and had many children. in the Scottish census of 1881 Walkerina was living with her Aunt Jeanette Gibson but there are no children listed. other information mentions that she remarried a Mr Doerr? and move to USA. Walkerina was born about 1850 and was the daughter of Scottish Dr Walker Wallace, mother unknown. any information on Walkerina, her children, James and Mary or her aunt Jeanette, who was married to an corn merchant and was widowed in Ireland about 1868.

ScotNZ on 2020-10-20 11:58:36The information from Ancestry website can be very vague and often incorrect as transcriptions are only interpretations. Use the Scotlands People website. If you search the 1891 Scottish Census for Walkerina it returns Walkerina Power age 41 Living at Cannongate. So Doerr is a mistranscription of Power. A death search for Walkerina Power returns 1 result. Walkerina Power 1896 age 47, St Andrews, Edinburgh. More than likely this is her (no guarantees). Scotland's death records of this era are usually well detailed as long as the informant had the correct information. Mary Janette Power's death record is also available.
