Missing ALLEN siblings
« on: Thursday 09 March 23 17:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi - can you help with these missing siblings? My hunch is that they may have emigrated - all are tin miners/dressers.

In 1841
HO107/136 Book 3/62 p 14
Breage, Cornwall
John Allan   50
Catherine Allan 45
William Allan 20                  baptised 12 January 1823 in Germoe.
Thomas Allan 15                  baptised 20 October 1825 in St Erth
Richard Allan 14                  baptised 12 August 1827 in Germoe
Joseph Allan 12                    baptised 26 July 1833 in Breage
Maria Allan 10
Elizabeth Allan 8
John Allan 3                    baptised 30 January 1838 in Breage
Catherine Allan 1 Mo


1851
– no William
HO107/ 1913/ 229 p 11
Breage
John Allen   64 b Cromer, Cornwall
Catherine Allen   57
Richard Allen   26
Joseph Allen   22
Maria Allen   19
Elizabeth Allen   16
John Allen   13
Catherine Allen   9

No sign of John or William in 1861

1861 - Richard with family – no William or John
Breage
John Allen   74   Head
Catherine Allen 67   Wife
Richard Allen 35   Son
Catherine Allen 19   Daughter

Joseph is with brother in 1861 in Crowan


Thomas Allen 38   Head
Jane Allen 31   Wife
Thomas H Allen 7   Son
Elizabeth Ann Allen 2   Daughter
Joseph Allen   31   Lodger b Breage


1871 – no William, Richard, Joseph or John (certainly not under the birthplace of Breage).

(Sister) Maria emigrated to British Columbia around late 1890s – she married John Keast in Lelant.
Elizabeth married George Crago - Catharine married Nicholas Hore.

I believe some of the brothers may have emigrated but can find no record – can anyone help me please?

Maybe you should ask to transfer to a more general board and add from CORNWALL to  title
If they have emigrated descendants might not look in this section .

I came across some ALLENs from Cornwall working in new Zealand
A lot of miners went to south Africa...maybe became gold miners
