I also have information on these 3 families, connected to the ALLANs, who emigrated from the British Isles to the Lanark county area:

Rev. Johnson NEILSON (c1796-1857) m. Annie Jane COBURN (1799 - 1887), both were born in (N) IRL, where they married and had their family before emigrating c1836.

Other family lines (emigrants to Maritimes, ON & MB) which I am working on:

Updated May 2006:

Moses BLACK, Sr (c1793-1881) and his wife Mary WILSON?, came from  Bellymena, Co., ANT, Ireland in 1845 and came to Canada with their family: sons John (1822-1903), Moses Jr.(b. c1825), & James (b:c1827) and 4 daughters. They settled in Gloucester, Nepean & Goulbourne townships in Ontario. The daughters: Mary Ellen m: James FLEMING (Finch area), Margaret m: Thomas A BARTON (Carp), Nancy m: Archabald PORTEOUS (Carleton Place & Richmond) & Mabel? m: James Edward McKINLEY/McKINNEY (near Toronto). It is probable that Moses' brother, Thomas, with his wife Jane, arrived at the same time.
