William Robert Allison help
« on: Wednesday 08 July 15 23:36 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could ehpl me find this person.

William Robert Allison was the son of William Allison and Eliza(beth) Love, she goes by Parker too.
I know nothing about William apart from his birth in Glasgow on Nov 16 1873. hes on the the 1891 census being with his mother and her new husband in Glasgow but I cant find him on the 81 census or the 1901 census or 1911. I cant find a death or marriage certificate too which makes me think hes moved abroad or down to England. On ancestry it says there is a Robert Allison in the place he was born in 1881 and there a same guy in England with a wife Mary Ann in Linconshire but my ancestry is playing up and wont let me access them. Would be good if you could help me find some info on him and his family if he had one or a death or anything on him, hes the only lead I have for my line of allisons dating back 3 generations cause the rest of the male lines either died young or had no children and the 4th generation going back were all girls and married,

If added this to the English forum too

Hi Gary,

Have you considered trying spelling variations Allinson/Allyson/Ellison......can't say I've seen any other's but on ancestry some transcriptions can be questionable  ;D

oh so hes with Eliza in 1901...

only reason I said I couldn't find him was because I already have a 1901 census records for his mother and he isn't losted down staying with her, her and her husband and son are listed but they are at the very bottom of the page so don't no if William is maybe on the other side but this is what I have for 1901
Govan, 462 Crown Street

James Parker 66
Eliza Parker 53
James M Parker 18

and in 1891 I have

Govan 462 Crown Street

James Parker 56
 Eliza Parker 42
James M Parker 8
Hugh L Parker 4
William R Allison 17

I don't know who this other  Eliza is born in 1875

I think this may be a different family - there's a John Allison and Eliza(beth) Small who had a son, William, in 1871 in Tradeston, and a daughter, Eliza(beth) in 1875.

If your William Robert Allison is the William Robert Allison who's in Lincolnshire in 1911, then he may already have been in England in 1901. That William Robert Allison married Mary Ann Cullen in 1902 in Clee, Lincolnshire. His father is named as William Allison. He's down as an engine driver in 1911 - no children in the house, nor listed on the census return (the 1911 census required married women to say how many children they'd had in the current marriage...). William's place of birth is 'Renfrew, Glasgow'...  ::)

A 'William R Allison' died in Grimsby, Lincolnshire in 1936, aged 62 - which may or may not have been him...
