According to his death certificate, John Alexander McKane Wallace was born in Belfast, Ireland, the son of James Wallace; however, this notoriously unreliable source of information can in this instance also be safely ignored. An old parish register (OPR) of the Antrim 1st Presbyterian Church, Mill Row, in the town of Antrim, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland (as it now is) records the births and baptisms of three sons and a daughter to a William Wallace and Catherine née McKane or Kane, residing at 'Trench' - probably Trench Farm outside of Antrim town and not far from William's home village of Donegore. The children were: William born 27 January 1822 (and accidentally killed on 5 September 1834 in "Thomas Kelly's gravel pit"), James born 31 August 1825, Mary Ann born 23 November 1828 and Thomas born 27 December 1831. This William and Catherine are almost certainly the parents, also, of John Alexander McKane Wallace. There would seem to be no extant record of his birth, though Jewel and Ian Fyfe in their on-line family history claim that he was born in the village of Connor, Co. Antrim, and baptised in Antrim town on 17 October 1819. No source is given for this information, or for that of the birth of a second child to William and Catherine - Arthur, born, they say, in 1821 in Donegore. Doreen Corrick in her printed (and on-line) volume The Wallace Family History (1988), makes Arthur the first born - 1817, and has Antrim as John's place of birth. But both Corrick and the Fyfes agree, at least, that John was born in 1819. Military records concur with Corrick that Antrim (presumably Antrim town) was John's birthplace.
