2 GenesReunited, http://www.genesreunited.co.uk, Val Stuart. Challis and Wallis are two separate families. John French (b.1793) married Maria Challis. Maria Challis had previously been married to a James Wallis who died. So the marriage entry was John French and Maria Wallis. It took about 3 years to find Maria's history, and someone else did it otherwise I would still be wondering.
