Seeking marriage records of Dr. George Wallace

Hi Katrina,

Can you provide more information? For instance name of second wife, don't want to confuse the two.  Did he have a middle name?

Best Wishes

Dear Ms. Ward,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the Population Schedules for the 1880 Census, the Population Schedules for the 1900 Census, the Population Schedules for the 1910 Census, and the Population Schedules for the 1920 Census in the Records of the Bureau of the Census (Record Group 29) that may include the names you seek. Some of the schedules have been digitized in part. For access to the non-digitized schedules, please contact the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov.

We also located 11 series of Passport applications in the General Records of the Department of State (Record Group 59) that Includes the passport of Ruth Wallace in 1918. For access to these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT1 and RDT2. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.

Ancestry has digitized all of the census schedules and selected passport applications. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Archives has partnered with Ancestry to make the vast majority of their NARA-digitized holdings freely available to the public. Anyone with Internet access may create an account, access NARA records, and use other Ancestry resources, such as their educational offerings and family tree-maker application. For more information see Ancestry’s announcement -- “Free At-Home Education Resources From Ancestry® and Access to Nearly 500M National Archives Records”.

Lastly, we located a death certificate for Dr. George Wallace and a passport of Ruth Wallace in 1918. For the actual death certificate, please contact the Texas State Department of Health Vital Statistics.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
