Thank you so much. I searched familysearch.org and came up with nothing. I will have another look just to satisfy myself, after lunch.

I found the entries by doing parent search- on the main search page fill in father's first and last name then mother's first name (and last if known) and nothing else, then click search.

Hello Mary hope you are still checking out Rootschat as I have information regarding John Love Allen. John Allen was born July 1907 Yorkshire where his father was working at that time. His father was Joseph Allen 1860-1924 and mother was Martha Jane Ross 1869-1948. The Allen family lived at Ballyrisk , Limavady, Co Derry where members of the family still farm. Joseph and Martha are buried in the Reformed Pres. Church, Limavady were they have a headstone.
John Allen was one of 12 siblings. You have a large number of relatives in the USA, and also relatives in and around the Limavady area.
Regards,
Ronnie

Hello Ronnie,
Thank you so very much for all the information on John Love ALLEN.
I had almost given up on any hope of finding any relations
I have just been onto the 1901c and found John's father Joseph ALLEN living as a boarder in Middlesborough. Interesting he is there with a friend named John LOVE. I wonder if that is where John Love Allen got his name.
Do you have any more nuggets you could pass on or could you tell me where I could find some more information.
Once again thank you very much for your help.
Sincerely
Mary

Hello Mary, good to know that you got my mail.
Yes I think your father was given Love as a middle name as the Love family were neighbours. Check out Ireland National Archives 1901/1911 census for co Londonderry, and in DED box enter KEADY. Here you will find the Allen Family. Also if you enter Ross as surname you will find my grandfather Sam Ross who was a Brother of Martha Allen. Their father Robert Ross and mother Jane Forsythe can also be found, our great grandparents. Bedtime now but will give info on the siblings of Jack tomorrow.
