Hi ainsley,
Using FreeBMD I found a birth that could be him:
John Allison Mar qtr 1854 Downham 4b 345
I'm not sure if Benwick is covered by the Downham registration district.

If you follow the links through on FreeBMD I think you'll find that Benwick was in North Witchford registration district, so the Downham birth may not be the one you are looking for.
You can check the indexes quarter by quarter yourself free on

I can't see him in either 1861 or 1871 which is puzzling but I'll keep looking

Hi Bedfordshire Boy,
Already come to that conclusion myself, can't seem to find any record of his birth or anything on the census myself that he really did come from Cambridgeshire. The earliest that Ive found him is the 1881 census when like I said he'd already moved to Middlesbrough !!
Think John maybe my brickwall of the Allison Family
Thanx for the input anyway

Hi Ainsley
I think he was from Cambs as in 1891 he gives his birthplace as Benwick again (he is enumerated as John H.P. Allison) and in 1901 it was Cambridge Cambridgeshire.
But I really don't understand why I can't find any Allisons in the area in 1861/71
Regards
David

Think Im goin to have to nip to the registar office some time this week to get John's son Charles Robert's(my grt grandaddy) birth certificate. To get Janes maiden name, and then see if I can find record of John n Janes marriage, just to discover John's father's name!!!
Maybe then I might be able to find him on the census  Not goin to hold my breath though

Yep, I think you're right Tati - it probably is John Thos., which then fits with the marriage on the GRO index. And the marriage cert has then to be the next step.
Good spot!

Been a while since I was last researching this side of my family,forgot all about it. I went and got the marriage certificate for John and Jane. They were married on Dec 25th 1880 in St Johns Church Middlesbrough. Johns father's name was also John Alison & his proffession is blacksmith. Janes father's name was George Shaw &he was a labourer. Neither father is stated as deceased on marriage certificate, but I know that could just be that they just didnt say they where at time of marriage
I'm still at that brickwall unfortunately, so If anyone can help me break it down or climb over it I'll be greatful
Thnx Ainsley
