Ellen Alleyn

I'm putting the pieces of the Alleyne family together. They can also be called the Allen family or the Alleyn family.

Michael Jospeh CONLON married Ellen Alleyn in St. Mary's Cathedral Sydney on 29 Jun 1865 and they subsequently lived in Glebe. In Michael's biography posted elsewhere here, he mentions that he married the daughter of Samuel Hyde ALLEYN, and in Ellen's marriage certifiate her place of birth is listed as Co. Tipperary, Ireland and her mother is named Mary.

These clues led me to the NSW Archives database, and a family who were entered under the surname ALLEN. I imagine the name was written phonetically, given the variation in name.

Here are their arrival records (pasted below). The main information to note is that Samuel ALLEN/ALLEY was married to Mary HAMMOND, though her age and the age of his children hints that she may be his second wife. Samuel and all his children were born in Golden, Tipperary, while Mary Hammond was born in Clonmel, Tipperary.

The other key clue is that the ALLEYN's already had a daughter in Sydney, Eliza: "Daighter Eliza Allen living in Sydney" and while I'm yet to track her down in arrival records, it's certainly an interesting development.

So, here are their arrival records transcribed. I look forward to connecting them to the other ALLEYNs in Golden, Tipperary.
