Surnames: Allison Classification: Immigration Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/hZ.2ADIB/221.2 Message Board Post: I have an Elizabeth Allison in my (UK) tree, born c.1839. She was a daughter of William Allison (a solicitor) and Ann ???. She was born in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, County Durham. She appears as living in her father's house in the 1851 census but has disappeared in the 1861 census, which could mean that whe emigrated between those years. Do you know when your Elizabeth Allison entered the USA? Was it between these dates? Do you have any other scraps of information about her? Where did you find her date of birth?
