Cheshire / Re: Macclesfield address
« on: Sunday 29 August 10 03:58 BST (UK)  »
Hi Kathy,

Thank you for your reply, and you are right, the family you mention sounds like ours.

Sarah Allen's maiden name was Walsh, and her parents were Danial Walsh, silk weaver and her mother was Susannah Smith, and she died aged 76 years in 1881.

The family of John Allen and Sarah Walsh was
Joshua born 1855
John born 1857
Henry born 1860
Mary born 1861
William born 1864
Clara born 1867
Elizabeth or liza Ann born 1870

When Sarah died in Australia in 1907 there was only Joshua aged 51, John aged 49, Henry 47 and Clara aged 40 still living.
I do not think Henry came to Australia.
Would love to hear from you if you find a connecrtion. Best wishes from Clara xx

Hi from Australia Kathy,
You have some names in your Allen family that also appear in ours, and I wonder whether there might be a connection along the line somewhere.  Our lot come from a line of John's (g.grandfather was a Baker)and my husband's grandfather was Joshua Allen who was born Macclesfield in 1856, and who came to Australia after 1881, and married  out here in 1886.  After his father John died in 1876 (?), his mother Sarah sailed to Australia with daughters  Mary aged 27, Clara aged 19 and Elizabeth aged 17 (known as Eliza). They came on the  "Abyssinia" in 1887 but I cannot find when Joshua arrived, but being a seaman, could have worked his passage and stayed.  He already had a brother John Allen living in Australia. 
Joshua named one of his daughters Ethel, a son William Edward.
Should you think their might be a connection, would love to hear from you.
Kind regards and successful searching from Carley.

I too have the same address on a birth certificate received today for a birth in 1908.

The birth address is 76 Eridge Road, and the mother is shown as a domestic servant at 9 Naseby Road, Upper Norwood. No father's name appears for the baby though.

Does anyone know when official adoptions came into being in the uk at all? This child travelled to Australia in 1912 by a different surname, and she has been my brick wall for a number of years!

Thanks everyone for answers to questions, and I too found this site from a Google for 76 Eridge Road, so feel very lucky that others were also looking for it.  Thanks again and kind regards to all from Carley

Hi everyone,
 After the help and suggestions that I received from so many people, I thought I would advise, that after so long, and upon the release of the 1911 Census, I have the answer to my dilemma.  My lady of mystery, Dorothy May..born 1908 in Croydon was an adopted child and was born Dorothy May MARTIN and not KEABLE. We had long suspected it, and a birth certificate has been sent for. Thanks again from Carley in "Oz"

Thanks John.  They are the correct family and I have those certificates.

I have now sent off a request for further information on their Immigration and keep fingers crossed that there might be something there to give a lead on the birth of Dorothy KEABLE.  If her birth date is correct, she left London the day before her 4th birthday in 1912.

Many thanks for your suggestions.

Kind regards from Carley

Thank you John, I am most grateful for that and I will follow the line of enquiry up.
 I felt that certain details would need to have been supplied somewhere when families were migrating but had no idea where that would be.  It is even better when it might be in our own Australian records.
Kind regards and thanks again from Carley.
