I have a problem trying to locate any details regarding my Allen family
I have only recently known of their existence by researching my mothers side of the family tree
The Earliest member of the family I can find is from the 1881 Census of Walmgate in York City where Anthony Allen born Circa 1845 occupation Hawker is shown as being resident at 10 Barker Hill Court, St Maurice, Walmgate, York lodging in the household of a James Hood who may be his Brother in Law.
Anthony is shown on the Census with his wife Julia Allen (possible maiden name Kelley) they both have given their place of Birth as Cork Ireland but no specific area has been given. also resident are their two children Sarah Allen aged 9 born in York and Anthony Allen aged 2 born in Leeds.
I have tried to search the Griffith Valuations for Cork and have found only 3 Anthony Allens all from Toormore, Kilmoe, Carberry West, Cork, I'm not even certain they are part of the same family. the only further information I have on my Anthony who is my 2nd Great Grandfather is that he was a Roman Catholic.
Any further information relating to him would be greatly appreciated as I am finding it extremely difficult trying to even start searching the Irish record
Thanks in advance
