any ideas ? as the address is westoe village and at the time he must have been rich to live there

so who was this bloke then ?
The address shown says Westoe which according to my old map covers the area between what is now Beach Road and Westoe Bridges. Westoe Village is marked as the village. There is also South Westoe which covers from Crossgate to Victoria Road. The Census of that period had my ancesters living in South Westoe. So I think that keeps us guessing as to where is actually was. As for the guy I have no idea, any connection with Marshall Wallis of the Road named Marshall Wallis??

William Wallis was the grandson of Robert Wallis who opened a shipyard in South Shields in 1720, by 1847 the Wallis family were in partnership with Thomas Marshall and built their first ironclad ship "the Conside", and now you know where Marshall Wallis Road got it's name!
