Notes BIOGRAPHY
James Wallace was born in 1846, the son of Esther Maise and John Wallace, during the voyage of his mother to New Zealand on the "Sir Robert Peel". James spent his early life in the Wanganui district and married Caroline Chitham in 1868. Caroline was born in Auckland, the daughter of English immigrants William Chitham and Sarah Smith.
James and Caroline lived in Wanganui until about 1880, where their first six children were born. The family then moved to Hawera where the remainder of their children were born. James and Caroline lived the remainder of their working life farming in Taranaki according to Electoral Rolls: 1896 Eltham, 1900 Hurford, 1905-1919 Frankley Road, Hurworth. By 1928 James and Caroline had retired to New Plymouth, and subsequently they moved to Hamilton where Caroline died in 1935 and James in 1936. Both were buried in Hamilton East Cemetery.
