Robert John Allen

[DDougan]

Hello,

I'm trying to find information on my great uncle Robert John Allen.

Robert John was born May 11, 1902 in The Grange, Loughgall, Co. Armagh:

I have found an outbound passenger for a Robert Allen aged 22 in March 1926 out of Belfast, from Tullygarden, Richhill, Co Armagh aboard the Alaunia. The incoming record into Canada indicated he was headed for Toronto (subsidized passage paid by the Ontario government). 

This is all I have been able to find at the moment, when he left the family home to travel to Canada the family never heard anything further from him, we don't know if he stayed in Toronto or move on.

Thanks,
Denise

No probs  It happens to us all. 

I wonder if its not the Robert John Allen in Danforth married to Kathleen in 1927 - he is the one from Shepton Mallet born 1895 ?

Hi,
Yes, this is the family.

Can't instantly see him crossing the border Canada to the USA.  No death record on the USA social security index.
