Katharine Wallace

Evidence review — October 30, 2026: Saved census, church-marriage, death and family records are now directly linked below. The March 31, 1910 church ceremony and July 31, 1956 death are documented; the marriage application was March 30. The recorded parent and child connections are supported by the original census, death certificate and Henry/Harry's birth certificate. Philadelphia is supported by both the 1910 affidavit and 1956 death certificate; Radnor is the documented 1910 residence and marriage locality, while the older compiled birthplace claim remains recorded as conflicting testimony. Exact birth particulars in the death certificate are retrospective. The earlier blanket 'original relationship records pending' and 'ceremony date unconfirmed' wording is superseded.

8 October 2026 - Keyser and Wallace family research, second round

The original 1880 census records Katie Wallace, 6, daughter of Wm. H. Wallace, physician, at 103 35th Street, Philadelphia. In 1900 she appears as Catharine, born May 1874, unmarried daughter in the same parental household. Three younger sisters are now documented alongside her: Mary E. (June 1875), Anna L./Annie Lynn (December 1876), and Elizabeth/Bessie (June 1878). Their names, sequence and dates match the family genealogy. Retain Katie, Catharine and Katherine as source variants rather than separate identities.
