Wondering if the Alban Family might have been spelled Albin at one time. Don't know where they came from. Henry Alban who was born in New York is the oldest Alban I have found. If you have any help would appreciate the help.

Thanks, Virginia Alban

Alban is Welsh spelling of Albin used by some family members for various reasons. If you are looking for relations try www.Ancestory.com, there are about 2000or more listed going back to England.

Hello Nancy,

Perhaps this is a stupid suggestion, but couldn't the name Scott Alban refer to Harvey Scott Alban who was a son of John Wesley Alban and Angeline Hare?

Lillian Alban in Houston TX 1917

Lillian Alban is pictured in the 1917 yearbook of Houston Central High. She is a senior.

Found picture of Tommy Alban - 1895

sug53 — 2006-08-14 00:02:25Z

Hello - I found a picture album today in an antique store in Olympia, WA that included a picture of Tommy Alban - 1895. I don't know how he's connected to the Coats/Coates family who appeared to own this album. The picture is faded, but it is of a little boy, outside a house - perhaps in the wintertime. I believe the Coats/Coates family lived in the Aberden/Raymond area of Washington State. I will be happy to scan and send to those interested. Sue sug53@earthlink.net

Alban's in Ohio

Moutrey — 2005-07-18 14:15:48Z

My grandfather, Alban Alvin Davies was born OH in 1873. His mother was Ann or Anna Alban. He was living in Van Wert Co., OH when he married my grandmother Harriet Hughes Hughes. The 1880 census, York Twsp., Van Wert Co. lists what seems to be his family: David O. Davies, 49, b. Wales, wife Anna, 44, Ohio/Wales/Wales; Thomas, 15, OH; Evan, 13, OH; John, 11, OH; Mary, 9, OH; Alben, 7, OH and David, 6, OH.
The 1850 Madison, Jackson Co., OH census lists the family of Thomas Alban, 32, Wales, Ann, 47, Wales (his mother); John, 19, Wales; Evan, 17, Wales; Ann, 14, OH; Sarah, 12, OH; Mary, 10, OH; Elizabeth, 8, OH and Daniel Evans, 10, Wales.
The Alban family emigrated from South Wales to OH in the 1840's.
Any information on this family would be helpful.

James Alban / Margaret Thomas

2002-11-28 14:42:33Z

Please help. I am looking for the descendant families of this couple. Any and all help would be most appreciated.

Following is the obituary for Margaret Thomas Alban, paper and date unknown, transcribed verbatim. The paper is more than likely from Jackson County, Ohio and the date would be approximately June or July of 1908.

"Margaret Alban

By the Rev. David Thomas

After an illness of some time, but not considered serious until very near the end, passed away quietly at her home in Oak Hill last Wednesday morning about half past ten oclock, at the age of 56 years 9 months and 2 days She was the daughter of John and Ann Thomas and the third of a family of eight children, five sisters and three brothers and the sixth of them to pass out of life, two only remaining. She was born near Tyn Rhos September 10, 1851. She was united in marriage to Mr. James Alban Oct 14, 1880. Two sons were born to them, namely, John Alban of Jackson, and William Thomas at home. About 25 years of age married life of nearly 28 years was spent at Oak Hill. She united with the church at Tyn Rhos when about 14 years of age and in coming to Oak Hill about 25 years ago transferred her membership to the Congregational church of this place, where she remained a faithful member to the end. She leaves to mourn the loss of a kind and tenderhearted wife and mother, a husband, two sons, one brother and one sister with a host of other relatives and friends.

The funeral was conducted on Tuesday, 10 a. m. Services at the house and at the church. Revs Samuel Griffiths, David Thomas, Roland Jones, John Evans and G C Evans taking part. David Jenkins in charge.

A very large number of people were present. Among those from a distances we saw Mrs Elizabeth Thomas, Mrs Jas E Davis, Thurman, R 1."

Anyone with any information on this family, please contact me. Thank you in advance.

Then your a descendant of Charles Henry Martin and Minnie Bell Alban. Do you know if Charles Henry Martin had relatives around Muscotah, Atchison Co., KS? I know that William Frederick Alban lived there from around 1900 till 1920, or later. His daughter, Eva Jane Alban, my grandmother, met & married Clarence Smith there. In researching the Clarence Smith family in the Muscotah and Effingham area I have ran across several Martins.I also know from George E. Martin's obituary that his folks, that is the Charles Henry Martin family, was living there in 1910.

Henry Alban Family in 1885 Kansas census

2002-08-05 15:55:12Z

Henry Alban age: 55 Occupation: Carpenter.-- Henry & his wife were born in NY and came to Kansas from IL
Mary (? not sure that this is correct, the entry is illegible) age 46
Ell (can't read) age 18 male (must be Elmer)
John age 16 male
Arthur age 8 male

Mary or Polly Alban who wed Thomas Edgington, probably about 1800, probably Adams Co Ohio or nearby

2002-05-26 00:20:18Z

Thomas Edgington was born 1781, died 1855, son of Jesse Edgington and Margaret Palmer. Thomas and Mary had the following: Thomas Edgington (d: 1852, married Margaret Marshall); Margaret Edgington (b: 1803, d: 1872, married William Douglas); Jane Edgington (b: 1805, married James Marshall); Jesse Edgington (b: 1811 d: 1901 married Charlotte Koontz (b: 1812 d: 1889)); John Edgington (b: 1814 d: 1882, married Susanna Koontz (b: 1819)); George Washington Edgington (b: 1814 d: 1859, married Eliza Johnston); Mary Margaret Edgington (b: 1818 d: 1847, married James I. Reed (b: 1810 d: 1860)); Elizabeth Edgington (b: 1819, married Harvey Henry Baldwin); William Edgington (b: 1820 d: 1875, married Abigail Meduke); Daniel Edgington (b: 1828, married Casiah Igou (b: 1835)).

There is speculation that Mary was called Polly. There is also one school of thought holding that Mary/Polly did not wed Thomas, but instead was married to Jesse Edgington (1779-1866, son of Thomas Edgington and Martha (Patty) Swearingen; this Jesse is a first cousin to the Thomas 1781-1855 I THINK she married).

Sorry this is so convoluted! Any assistance, guidance, thoughts, would be greatly appreciated! I'm an Edgington descendant, and want to put Mary/Polly in her rightful place in my data. Thanks!

Mary Amanda Marvel Alban obituary

2002-04-02 15:47:57Z

Newspaper unknown
Transcribed by Roy Hughes, 3-29-02

Mary Amanda Marvel was born October 29, 1853, and died April 10, 1936. She was the daughter of James K. and Freelove Martin of Waynesville, Ill. She united with the Methodist church in her early girlhood.

Her marriage to William F. Alban occurred April 28, 1870 at Clinton, Ill., and to this union nine children were born, three of whom died in infancy. Mr Alban passed away November 16, 1927. (Transcriber's note: William Frederick Alban's obituary states he died Nov. 16, 1928)

The children who survive are Mrs. C. H. Martin of Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. W. F. Fanning of Ottawa, Mrs. H. B. Hall of Newton, Mrs. R. M. Dockendorff of Spokane, Wash., Charles L. Alban of Huron, Kan., Mrs. Clarence Smith of Waverly, Kas. She is also survived by two brothers and two sisters, 29 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren and five great, great grandchildren. (Transcriber's note: William Frederick Alban's obituary has the names as W. T. Fanning, R. N. Dockendorff, and C. I. Alban)

The family moved to Kansas in 1871, and for the past nine years Mrs. Alban made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Hall.

During the World war Mrs. Alban held a record for knitting socks and sweaters for the soldiers. She was very active in church work, was a good mother, efficient homemaker and trusted neighbor.

Funeral rites were conducted Monday afternoon, April 13 and burial was in the Greenwood cemetery beside Mr. Alban at Newton.

Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Smith of Waverly, Mrs. Ora Fanning and John Alban of Ottawa, Mrs. Wayne Jeffery of Burlington and Mrs. Elmer Sumner and daughter of Westphalia were among the out-of-town relatives who attended the funeral.

Re: Henry Alban/William Frederick Alban Ill. Kansas

2002-03-05 22:36:21Z

I am pretty sure this is the same as our Henry Alban. (Jack Alban, who posted here earlier, is my father.)

Some of the numbers don't match up exactly - but they're so close it has to be the same man. We have his death date as January 21, 1896 north of Westphalia, KS, and you have it as January 26 in Kansas. We have his birthdate as 10-2-1829 in NYC.

My ancestor, Charles Hamilton Alban, must have been the second or third son of Henry. He was born in 1858 in Bloomington, IL - or at least nearby in McLean County. The birthplace of William Frederick, Waynesville, is only about 25 miles away.

Re: Henry Alban

2002-03-05 22:05:45Z

I don't know if Henry is related to Eliza, but Henry Alban is my earliest known paternal ancestor.

He was born October 2, 1829 in NYC. He died north of Westphalia, Kansas on January 21, 1896. His wife's first name was Elizabeth. His son was Charles Hamilton Alban, born 1858 in Bloomington, IL.

If you have any other information on Henry Alban, I'd LOVE to hear about it, particularly if it relates to his parents.
