Allingham and Morton

A word of warning- marriage certificates do NOT list religion of bride and groom so it's likely that 'Church of Ireland' under each is a reference to the church they married in rather than their actual religion.

Hi Carol,
I don't have anything on his military background. His occupation was a doorman for a hotel in Belfast. He had eight children with Margaret Morton, four sons, John, Robert (my father), Edward and William. William was killed in WW11 his plane was shot down over Germany. I am unaware of any of them being born in South Africa, perhaps from his first marriage. The daughters names were Isobel, Ester, Madge and Betty (Elizabeth).
I only know of two daughters from his first marriage interested to hear if indeed there were more children from that marriage.
I have information about his death and why he was in a mental hospital if you care to know. This is information I would prefer not to share in public.
As soon as I learn how to send a picture I will send it to you.
Your distant cousin Bob.

Hello Carol,
I have just joined this site. Robert Allingham was my Great Uncle. He and Great Maggie lived at No 5 Ebor Street, off the Donegall Road in Belfast, NI. I was born at No 19, 70 years ago today. Their son John was my Grandfather. I have 1 or 2 photos of their children on my PC. Iam trying to trace my family history, with some success. Regards
William, aka Lee Morton

Hello William,
Thank you for your message of 6th April about Robert Allingham and best wishes for your 70th birthday.  Robert Allingham, born in Sligo, was my great great uncle, being brother of my great grandmother Susan Allingham who married Edward Withers in 1887 at Sligo and they later moved to Belfast.  Robert had another sister Mary.  I expect you will have already seen the family information on this topic about my own Allingham connection and the photo of Robert and Margaret Morton.  I have since found out some further facts, e.g his 1st wife was Kate Brett of Co. Leitrim who he married in 1892.  Perhaps we could exchange some correspondence.  You say your name is Lee Morton so I wondered if you are a descendant from Margaret Morton's side?   
Regards, Carol
