Frederick Report 24 Oct 2018 23:15

I am attempting to trace the above person for my family tree who is a relative of my Grand mother Elizabeth (Kenny) Bell born in the Newcastle area England GB.
Or possibly Glasgow area of Scotland as my Grand mother was living in Glasgow at that time.

Known as Percy Allan or Allen he emigrated with his wife and 2 daughters possibly
During the 1930s.
Percy's 2 daughters are believed to have went into the relgeous life and became
Nuns after arriving in the US.
Any information would be greatly appreciated

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 25 Oct 2018 06:09

Any idea of birth year and his wife's name

Frederick Report 25 Oct 2018 08:24

I don't have his wife's maiden name but first name was Mary, also I don't have the names of the 2 daughters (nuns).
I assume that he was my grandmothers cousin ,as her uncle was named
Thomas Bannerman Allan. A catholic priest,this may be the reason for the 2 daughters becoming nuns,
His fathers name was Alaxander Allan,mothers name Eliza Williams from Wales.

Have you looked for anything yourself?

Freebmd is the best place to start

Alexander Allan may have married Eliza Williams in 1854 in Cheshire
