This is the second time of posting this - I think I had the wrong address. Hi folks. This is my first time on this list. I have a little piece of family history written in October 1969 by one of my ancestors. It states that George ALLISON born 1831 (place unknown)(my gggrandfather)came from Berwick-on-Tweed. He was the son of a grammar school headmaster who held a University degree. George went to London and became a civil servant working in Somerset House. This is as far back as I can get on George's side of the family. I know he married Julia Augusta WHITWORTH in London and I have gone back another two generations on her side of the family. Is anyone out there able to recognise anything from this scant piece of information that may put me on the right track to locate maybe his birth or even his father? THANK YOU.
