Ok, I want to find out where and how you found all that out!!!
I am a living relative of your Louis Herman Allanson...
(If I'm not, the similarities are scary)
Problem here is, Fancy18 is a friend of mine.
If you are serious about exchanging information PLEASE write me at
motrottier@yahoo.com This is what I have btw...
-John Allanson and Elizabeth Sterling married in either July, Aug. or Sept. of 1839 in St. Pancras, London, Middlesex, England
-Then in either April, May or June of 1840 they had their first child, George in Islington, Greater London, London, Middlesex, England.
-A year later in 1841, John, Elizabeth and George are living in St. Mary Islington West, Middlesex, England
And his occupation is listed as and "Engraver"
-Between then and 1848 John and Elizabeth had 5 more children...Louis H., Elizabeth, Anna, and Catherine. All born to them in England.
-THEN in the fall of 1848 the "John Allanson Family" left England for the States with 6 children and Elizabeth was pregnant...very pregnant I believe, because in Sept of that year while on the ship the "Margaret Evans" she gave birth to their 7th child and my Great-great-grandfather...Alfred William Allanson. On October 17, 1848 they arrived at the port of New York, NY from London England.
And After this, until the children are much older and married, I lose them...and the women I have not been able to find.
I AM EXTREMELY THRILLED to read your post about Louis. You actually have information that I do not and that is always exciting. Hopefully with what you have I can fill in the blanks. THANK YOU and I hope tho hear from you soon!
IF I am somehow way off here please let me know that also so I do not follow the wrong trail.
