Allman, Almond, Hallmond or similar.

Re. Census
There is a Hester Almond (72) b Siddington living in Lower Withington in 1841.

There is a Jesse Alman (70)  living in BOLLINFEE in 1841, with a younger Jesse (25 b Siddington) and family. In the 1851 census there is a Sam WILLIAMSON with them.

Hester may be the Esther daughter of Thomas of the settlement. She was born 1779 which would make her 62 -- but hey, 72 sounds better! And the BTs for Thomas' marriage gives his wife as Hester.

Jesse is almost certainly the son of Thomas - he is mentioned in the settlement dispute papers, and I haven't come across another Jesse. Haven't found a christening for him, but as Thomas and Esther Goodwin were married in 1768 at Prestbury, he could easily be about 70 by 1841. Interesting about the Sam Williamson with them. SArah Williamson would have been his 4x grand mother, possibly, or it may be coincidence of course.

Sorry Beth, typo. Hester aged 72 is on the 1851 census.
She can't be the daughter of Thomas as she is a widow and therefore married into the Almonds.

Hi
Just noticed that you are doing a one name study

Arthur Edward Allmand born about 1877 from Marchweil/Ruabon area was my great grand father.
I believe that he was the son of John Allman. He married Florence Lavinia Jones  and they moved to the Manchester area.

Hi Heather,
We communicated via e-mail but I never received a reply to my last e-mail. (Copied below)

Hi Heather,
It’s been a while since we ‘talked’; so I thought I’d check up if there’s anything new from your research?
I finally got around to visiting the gravestones in Marchwiel and recorded details from there - they're quite worn of course.
I don’t know if you have any/all of the following:

John and Susannah
At Marchwiel I also found John's grave (1882) which includes his daughter Mary (1858), his GD Sarah Ann Davies (1868) - the rest is illegible.

John’s daughter Charlotte married Edward Davies in 1864 and is a Widow by the 1871 census. I can’t trace her after that. Do you have anything on her?

John and Susan’s daughter Jane marries William Roberts in 1852 but I haven’t been able to trace them after (possible in Liverpool). Do you have anything on her?

John and Catherine
I think Catherine Jane Davies had a sister MARTHA GRACE DAVIES who married a William Ross in Bury.

John and Catherine’s daughter Martha also married in Bury - John Stirzaker.

Son George William died in Australia.
Florence Ann marries Samuel Hamilton.
Apologies if you already have this.

Tony

Apologies for not getting back to you.
Somewhere, I do have details of the graves in St Marcella's Church yard.
I haven't done any more research on this side of my family for a while.

No problem.
You didn't mention the other graves last time we communicated.

Hi there  I am new onto this site an was very interested in the names Allman,Almond, Hallmond or similar.
I am the great grand daughter of a Hallmond in NZ.
We have no idea where my great grand father came from, or even if his surname was actually Hallmond, he came into the West Coast of NZ at a place called Jacksons Bay, the ship he was on founded an only 2 children were saved from it, one being my Great grand father, he was supposed to have been brought here with a lady called Mrs Bramford from Australia, it could be he had a broard accent an the name wasnt actually Hallmond however I have done some checks an found the name Hallmond in England. I would be very interested if anyone has contact with someone with this name.

Hello Sunny,
There are thousands of Allmans etc here in the UK. I started to research them locally as my GM was an Hallmand. The name mutates regularly as most of them were illiterate. Now I record them anywhere and everywhere. There are several lots who emigrated to NZ and Oz; as well as some transported. First of all please provide as much detail on your GGF as you know.
