Hi, I am a great great great granddaughter of Thomas Allan from Garrioch Hall.
My great great grandfather was James Allan (born 1853) who married Elizabeth Paterson (born 1860). They had two daughters, Elizabeth Paterson Allan (born 1879) and Marguerite Paterson Allan (1888- 1965). Marguerite married James B. Laing Smith (1884-1951) born in Georgetown, British Guiana. They had two children, James Allan Smith (1913-1943) and Bethea Elizabeth Smith (1914-1988). James Allan Smith was shot over Germany when fighting in W. W. II and Bethea Elizabeth Smith married Adam Lehtonen from Finland both lived and died in the Dominican Republic. They had three daughters one who is my mother, Rita Amanda Lehtonen Smith.
Recently I've been trying to trace my ancestors and came up with Thomas Allan from Garrioch Hall. unfortunately I don't have pictures of the house. Hope some of this is useful.
