Hi All, I'm new to the list and note my surname interests:- 1. Allison 2. Race Both families from the Hauxswell, Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby area. Specifically researching Captain Francis Allison, Master Mariner, and his wife Susannah Race who were married at the Church of England, Folkton, near Bridlington, Yorkshire, on 16 May, 1811. They had four children in Whitby, William Race Allison, Harriette Race Allison, Ann Race Allison and Francis Thomas Allison before emigrating to Australia in 1882 on board the Christiana. It is believed that Susannah was the daughter of William Race and Hannah Coates. I would be extremely appreciative of any advice as to how to research these families further - and/or in fact any information regarding the name of the Church - actually anything at all. !!! In appreciation Linda New South 'Wales, Australia
