Edward S. Wallis 1773 - 1844
Edward S. Wallis , of 11 Montague Place, Bryanston Square, London, formerly of York, England (Burton Grange?), Attorney-at-Law, Propr. of " The Tablet " (purch. 1840 with Fred. Lucas & Jos. Quin (his step-daughter's husband) ). He was surgeon to the York Dispensary from 1801 and medallist. He was fined for Sheriff on 21 Sept. 1829 (Skaife). 1823 Baines Directory for York shows him as a surgeon at Petergate. "His energy - as much as that of his wife - survived, can be seen to continue in his descendents for the next 150 years. Born, brought up at the height of an understanding seeking expression - many believed they were finding it - first in the American & then in the French Revolution - that 'Age of Enlightenment' - his life speaks of a man, a generation open to change. The acceptance of any Enlightenment - about anything - offered a freedom which as a true and loyal Englishman he was ready to challenge. The memory of his uncle, George Wallis (1740-1802), would surely have reminded him always of the odds stacked against him doing very much, his inheritance as a papist telling him that man changes not but for compassion, compassion for himself, as for others found in doing no more and no less than those 'good works' Victorians later would live their lives by - a particularly English quality." (PvM) Marriages witnesses: William Hutchinson Hearon and George Dalton.

Its objects are to dispense gratuitously advice, medicine, and surgical assistance, to those who are unable to pay for them. This establishment, which was opened on the 28th of March, 1788, has continued to flourish through a period of four and thirty years, and has, out of 42,488 patients, effected cures upon 28,851 of them. (Note: Medical and chirurgical attendance are given every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, at eleven o'clock, and medicines dispensed gratis to all proper objects, recommended by an annual subscriber of half-a-guinea or upwards, or by a donator of ten guineas or upwards. Patients incapable of attending in person are visited at their own houses.)

Old Yorkshire, 1820 --------------- April 7. – Between eleven and twelve at night, as Mr Edward Wallis, surgeon, York, was proceeding on horseback to Fulford, and had got within about fifty yards of the lane leading to Fulford Church, a man laid hold of his horse's bridle and exclaimed, “Have you got any money for me? You must give me your money!” Mr Wallis immediately gave the fellow three or four blows with his stick, which broke in consequence. The villain then struck him several times with a bludgeon, and knocked him off his horse. Whilst he was down the robber said, “Lay on the ground – give me your money – don't make a noise!” On Mr Wallis attempting to get up, he received a severe blow on the head and again fell. Finding, at length, that resistance was vain, he informed the villain that he would deliver up his money. He was then permitted to rise from the ground, and, whilst he was giving the fellow some silver, the villain snatched his gold watch from his fob, and immediately ran off towards York. Mr Wallis was much bruised in several parts of the body, but did not fare so badly as might have been expected. A reward of 20 guineas was offered for the arrest of the offender. ------------------- See: Conveyance of property at Burton Grange, Clifton, York Papers of Munby and Scott, York solicitors.Additional papers relating to various clients of Munby and Scott.
