Andrew Allan, Belfast

[iainsanders2]

Hi Folks,
I Know this is a long shot in the dark but, i'm going to try anyway.
Researching my gr. grandfather x3, Andrew Allan born c1820 in Belfast.
The only thingh i have on him is he Married Grace Reid on 8/10/1841, Lasswade, Midlothian, Scot.
It is possible that Sarah Allan c1810 who married Christopher Vickers on 26/6/1838, Canongate, Edinburgh and, Mary Ann Allan c1829, who married James Hook on 10/4/1850, were his sisters.
Is it possible if any one has got them in their research.

Cheers Iain

Hi Iain,

If these are your they are all on the 1841 Scottish census together, their ages seem to tie in Andrew (Allan) and Sarah (Vickers) both born Ireland Mary (Allan) born Midlothian.

Thanks Julie & Joyce,
Have now been able to find there father George Allan, he was living in Finnigans Lodgings, Bulls Close,Edinburgh, at the time of his daughter Sarahs marriage.
Still no luck with family ties in Belfast.
