I am researching the family of Captain Francis Allman 1780-1860 who was born in County Clare. however, I suspect there is a strong connection to the Allman's of Cork. His father was John Allman, his mother Hannah Jannes. Any information on whether there was a family connection would be appreciated.

  • In 1855, in Griffith's Valuation of Clare, I found the following:

    Griffith Allman Mrs Hannah Corranroo Abbey Co. Clare

     

    I hope this helps.

    He died in 1840. Source: Clare Journal - Column 6 - Deaths.

  • Francis Allman - 1780 - 1860

    Was Francis a brother of Captain John Allman of Eyrecourt, County Galway and Corranroo, Abbey, Burren Barony.  A John Allman was granted a marriage licence in Killaloe 1807. His intended - Hanah Daly.

    Is this person the same as Captain John Allman?

    The Waterford Mail newspaper of September 21st 1833 reported that Captain Allman of Eyrecourt had been appointed a Commissioner of Tithes, near Mallow. (Co. Cork).
