Durham Lookup Requests / Re: George Allen/Allan
« on: Wednesday 20 May 15 09:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Thanks for your reply, Margaret Allen is my 2nd Great Grandmother, I also descend from Henry and Mary Annie Rowan - so we are related.

I spent a lot of time trying to find Margaret's birth with no luck, following the threads from roots chat several years ago I now think she was born in Ireland.  Unfortunately with no idea where in Ireland its going to be difficult.

I am just starting to look at the Brown/Rowan side in a little more detail.  I was passed a very basic tree from some years ago by a family member but it says Mary Annie Rowan's mother was a Mary Ann Duffy?  I looked at it a couple of years ago and I am not so sure I  agree - I wondered if you had any further info.

Thanks again for the reply, nice to make contact with a family member.

I realise these posts were a few years ago, I have been trying to find information on my 2nd Great Grandmother Margaret Allen born 1844 (according to census info and marriage cert) Father George Allen born Ireland 1811 - though several census give different dates and places.  Margaret Married Henry Brown in Tynemouth.  I can find no trace of Margaret until her marriage on any census so she too may have been born in Ireland.

I thought Fanny Allen was her sister and then found that she was born Fanny Mains,  father  Robert, mother Mary Jane Martin.  I even started to wonder if Margaret Allen was actually Margaret Mains and found a birth close in date but it seems the child died. 

I wondered if anyone had got any further in their research and if you would share any info/docs suggestions you have.  As I said I realise it's a few years ago but I don't think this family history bug ever goes away!!
