Hi,
Have just discovered that some of my Allen ancestors are buried in Lisburn Cathedral Graveyard. Does anyone know if there are any sites that keep burial records for this graveyard. I'm looking for any children of George Allen,a shoemaker from Lisburn & an unknown female Thompson.
Regards
Coreen

Have you any dates for George Allen, do you know if he was a member of the Orange Order?

I don’t see a George Allen among Lisburn Cathedral Burying Ground Inscriptions but according to a book I have James Allen was the son of George Allen and his wife who was formerly Thompson. James Allen was a Shoe-maker of Bow Street, Lisburn as was his brother David.

Hi,
Lousy,George was born c1798 & it is quite possible that he was a member of the Orange Order.
Cyclamen - Thank-you so much for that. This all ties in with some other info I have regarding this family. I believe there were at least two other brothers;Edward Allen born 1828 in Ballinderry (married Anna Patterson) & John Allen born 1931 in Glanavy (married Julia Anna Bell). John died 28/01/1900 at 46,Hanover St,Belfast. Thanks also for the PM - my grt-grandfather,George Allen,died in 1916 in WW1 so maybe that's a reference to him.
