Terribly sorry for the delay.  I'm so new to rootschat that I did not realise there had been responses.  I only came on here tonight to finally try and read the whole thread, which I still have not done as it is just so mind boggling. From what I have read of it so far, a wealth of information has been provided.  I am very fortunate to have found this link, and I thank you all. I will get through it all eventually  ;D Yes, I have tested, as has my father and my two siblings, so I would hope that this could help confirm the tangled web.  River Tyne Lass, Is there a way I could discuss this information privately with you?  I have a tree on Ancestry which is also connected to my DNA.

Greetings from Australia.  I am a direct descendant of Michael Allen, of the Matfen Murder saga.  I have had a very quick look at the first page of this thread and will look at the rest soon, but very excited to find it. Sadly, Michael never made it back to the UK.  He was granted Ticket of Leave in 1861 and Conditional Pardon in 1866.  He married Mary Ann McLochlin (nee Wellington) in 1866 and the only child of this union was my great grandmother, Isabella Louisa Allen, born in 1868.  Michael died in 1873 aged 39 in Geraldton, Western Australia.  Mary Ann married again the same year Michael died and went on to have another 7 children to George Robinson. Isabella, a midwife, died aged 60 in 1928. Until she married she continued to use the surname of Allen and did not take on the Robinson name despite being only 5 when Michael died.
