1881 British Census for Yattondon, Berkshire,
ENG (as transcribed and contained on CDs at the Family History Centers of the LDS Church) lists the William Wallace
family living in a 'cottage':
William Wallace, agricultural laborer, 38, b.Yattondon
Mary A. Wallace, 36, b.Ashampstead, Berks
Henry Wallace, agricultural laborer, 12, b.Bradfield, Berks
Rose A. Wallace, scholar, 8, b.Yattondon
Edith Wallace, scholar, 6, b.Yattondon
Isabell E. Wallace, 2, b.Yattondon
Neighbors included families of Wernham, Billington, Hall, Hunter,
Watts, King on one side and Phelps, Serle, Reeve, Joyce, French, Wise on
the other side.
The household of Ms. Lydia G. Reeve, 36, also included:
Agnes Wallace, visitor, 14, b.Bradfield.
Based on proximity, age, and birthplace, I believe this to be an older
daughter of William and Mary Wallace.
In addition, LDS' web site http://www.familysearch.org
contains the following listing under the name 'Wallace':
Rose Annie Wallis, born to Mary Ann and William Wallis, christened 7/7/1872
in Yattendon.
On the other hand, the 1891 Census does not list the Wallace family,
nor most of the neighboring families.
This suggests that the Wallaces,
along with their neighbors (perhaps under the guise of their church memberships),
all emigrated from England sometime in the 1880's.

1851 Census for Yattendon and Ashampstead,
Berkshire, England (FHL microfilm #193599) contains the following 'Jerome' entries:
122b. (2MB) Ashampstead, family 46:
Richard Jerome, 45, (no occupation written), b.Yattendon, Berkshire
Esther, 40, b.Streatley, Berks
Carolina, 13, b.Yattendon
Mary A., 9, b.Ashampstead, Berks
Ellen (grandaughter), 3, b.Bradfield, Berks
William Pickett (son in law), 25, Ag. Lab., b.Ashampstead
Harriott(sic) Pickett, 18, b.Yattendon
[BWB: I believe this Mary A. is the mother of Edith M. Wallace due to her age, place of
birth, and her marriage registration. See also the 1881 Census. Another family listed in Bradford Village had
a servant, Sarah Jerome, 15, b.Yattendon, that could be another child of
this couple due to age and proximity.]
Another 'Jerrom' family was listed that had a daughter Mary, 16, but she was born in Yattendon, not
Ashampstead as the mother of our Edith M. Wallace was: (2MB).
[BWB: There were a number of other 'Jerome' families listed, in Bucklebury and Basildon, but no known relationship
to Richard and Esther above, except possibly as parents of Richard: James
Jerome, 69, b.Hampstead, Berks, and Ann, 66, b.Norrie Leacock, Wilts; and
Elizabeth Jerome, 76, widow, b.Great Marlow, Berks.]
256. English Birth
Certificate for Birth #329, 3/6/1845 at Ashampstead Berkshire, Mary
Anne Jerome. Parents Richard Jerome, Agricultural Labourer, and
Esther Jerome (nee Hazell?), registered 4/4/1845.
