Childen of Peter Allen and Ann Cowen
« on: Tuesday 26 May 20 19:11 BST (UK) »
I need to look for the 21 children of my 3xGt Grandparents - PETER ALLEN and ANN (nee COWEN) of which my Gt Grandmother was the eldest - Mary Ann Loran nee Allen b. 06.10.1872.
All from Mullingar.
What is the easiest way to find them? Are the only Irish census online for 1901 and 1911??

I know the parents, Peter and Ann married 21.08.1871 in Mullingar but don't have their births or deaths either! Where to start?!

Any advice gratefully received.

It should be straightforward, if Mary Anne is the oldest.
Birth registrations start 1864.

You just have to prove that you are not a robot  :)

Here is Mary Anne https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1872/03221/2180962.pdf

You can check the censuses - only 1901 and 1911 are available.

Thanks I did try those links but in the 9 records for Mullingar when I enter Peter Allen, none of the records seem to relate to his birth or death or any of the children. I also can't find them on the census.

I must be doing something wrong.

Did the family stay in Mullingar?
Do you know when Peter or Ann died?

He is married and an Army Pensioner  :-\

Thanks again. May i ask what you entered to get those children please?
They stayed in Mullingar though Mary Loran my Gt Grandmither went to Coatbridge in Scotland as did some of her siblings, some to England.

That's the only possible peter Allen death cert i could find though not his birth or either for his wife Anne Cowen.

Apols for typos, in my mobile!!
