Ireland / George Allen / Allan Ireland
« on: Thursday 13 October 11 22:07 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace through my family tree and have got stuck with a distant relative who it seems was from Ireland.
I have traced George Allen / Allan through UK census to living in Stockton in England through the lat 1800's but is listed as been born in Ireland.
I believe he was born as early as 1811 and worked as a Blacksmith.
He was twice married firstly to Helen (1816-1858) with whom he had a number of children including twins (David and Edward in 1846) - these children are also listed as been born in Ireland.
Helen then died and re remarried Mary Jane Main.  He died in 1895 - believe it could have been 28th July 1895.
Only other bit of info I have is his father was possible called John and a farmer.
I am happy to do some digging just struggling a bit with this Irish link

Hi - I would be keen to hear anything you had found out about this line.
From my research my great great grandfather was David Allen born 1846 in Ireland and Margaret Allens younger brother so we are distant relations.  I had traced back David to his father George the blacksmith and how he was born in Ireland, married and had children then moved to the north east of england and married again with more children.
Am particularly keen to trace the Allen line back into Ireland

Thanks

Marcus Allen
