Hello,
I am looking for a lookup from The Pictorial History of Dundonald by Robert Kirk, published in 1989.
I am looking for information about the family of James Allan, who married Jean Brown in 1775 in Old Rome, died in 1790 in Old Rome, and was buried in Dundonald in 1790. He is the father of Alexander (Sandy) Allan, who started the Allan Shipping Line. Apparently this book has information about both this Allan family and its connection to the Allans of Edgar Allan Poe's foster family. The connection on that line would be William Allan, who married Elizabeth Galt in 1775, or possibly Agnes Allan, who married John Galt in Dundonald in 1743 and died 1778.
Thanks so much!
