Unfortunately, what I can see on Ancestry does not show the image or the ED.  I wish I could see the image but when I am working on a line that is not direct I don't like to spend too many credits on Scotland's People!

Thanks!

CaroleW,

Thank you. I do see an Ann Thompson in the list as well.  I wondered if it was a hospital or an asylum.

Thanks,
Amy

I have an ancestor, Ann Aitken Oswald (b abt 1766) who is listed on the 1841 census with an occupation of "P Inmate Sewer" in the Civil Parish of Glasgow St Enochs.  Can anyone tell me what she may have been an inmate of?

Thank you,
Amy

Hello,

I have been searching for connections to my Allen line in County Armagh for 40+ years. Finally with the advent of DNA testing I was able to find a DNA connection whose line came here to the US long before mine did.  I was able to track that person's line back to an Allen Family in Loughall in the late 1700s and early 1800s before their children emigrated to the US.  The couple, George Gardiner and his wife Elizabeth "Bettie" Allen arrived in Loughgall as a married couple from England (after 1786). One of their Gardiner granddaughters, Mary, married a Samuel B Allen, son of Jacob Allen and Jane Todd. Samuel and one brother, Jacob, went to the US but siblings Jane, John and William stayed in Loughgall.  I have not been able to make a connection between these two branches of Allen but I have to think there is one because they all came from Loughgall. 

My Allen line also came from Loughgall and I can trace them back to two Allens of different families:
Henry Allen (wife Mary) b. abt 1801, d. 27 Jul 1889 Clovenden, Loughgall and their daughter in law, Jane Allen (parents unknown but were also Allens), b. abt. 1840, d. 8 April 1897 Fernagreevagh, Loughgall, married to Henry Allen (1845-1906), son of the previous Henry and Mary. 

My question is:  are there any records available (preferably online since I am in the US) which may help me link or disprove this connection? 

I would love, after all of these years of fruitless research, to be able to get another step or two back.  Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Amy
