Hi Rose if I may ask for an explanation what does it mean where it says 1851 census "Allisons Land Newton Mearns Refrewshire" and on the 1861 census address Grahams Land Toll Bar Neilston Renfrewshire?

Again, this is so exciting to us.  Thank you so much, this is just so wonderful.  I would like to find information on Thomas' parents as well, and if there is any connection to a Clan and or Tartan.  As this is where I've hit the proverbial brick wall.

Will have a look later and see what else I can find struggling to find an immigration record some of the lists are very hard to make out

On the documentation I have for Thomas and Jane's Banns, it list as parents Peter Allan and John Rigg, but for the witnesses, it lists a Thomas Allan and a Robert Larvie or Iarvie or Jarvie (the handwriting is hard to decipher).

Welcome to rootschat 

I would hazard a guess that the surname is Jarvie.

As an aside, I have Allan's from Laurencekirk (Kincardine)/Montrose (Angus)/Aberdeen although I haven't researched too far.

Hi Annie, Jarvie is probably right.  One of the documentation I have indicates that a Thomas Allan was born in Kincardine, [Perth] 1821, his father is listed as Peter and mother as Kath. McBeath.

This could maybe be a possible sibling of Thomas Allan
James Allan born 17 /11/1823 Tibbermore Perthshire
Father Peter Allan mother Catherine Macbeath

By 1891 the family are in Canada Elgin East Yarmouth Ontario
