Hi List,
The research I acquired shows my great grandfather Richard ALLEN (Sr) coming
from Cow Brow to
Dalton and working at the Dalton Corp. It says he was a grocer in Cow Brow.
Is there a list for those areas? I have him on the 1901 census living at 29
Bankside Dalton in Furness as a Carter(?) for Urban Council. What is the
Urban Council? The obit says Beckside as his address.
This is his obit.
On Wednesday the funeral took place in the Dalton Cemetery of Mr. Richard
ALLEN (68), of 29 Beckside, Dalton. The Rev. J.S.Rothwell officiated and
the bearers were fellow-workmen of the Urban Council. The chief mourners
were Mr. and Mrs. S.BROWN (Carlton), Mr. and Mrs. LLEWELLYN (Martin),
(sister and brothers-in-law), Mr. T.H. ALLEN (Wolverhampton), son, Mr. and
Mrs. COWBURN (Preston), daughter and son-in-law; Mrs. FARRINGTON (Barrow),
sister; Mary and Dick Morris, grandchildren, with many friends and
neighbours. There were floral tributes from Tom, Cissie, Maggie, Sarah,
David, Mary, Agnes and Dick, Eva; Mrs. Todd; Mr. S. Brown; Urban Council
workmen; Mr. Phillipson; friends and neighbours; Mr.Charles Pickering; Mr.
and Mrs. Cowburn; Mr. and Mrs. Stainton; Mrs. Jackson.
He was married in Burton in Kendal, Westmoreland to Annie CAPSTICK on August
20, 1881. By his age given in the census as 46, his death was 1923 or 1924.
His son Richard ALLEN (Jr) and Elizabeth KITCHING came to the states in
1920 and didn't keep in very good contact with his parents or many siblings.
His brother David ALLEN was killed in a motorcycle accident at Baycliffe.
I have the newspaper article with his picture.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sandy
