Hello Valerie,Samuel  Allen born Apr 23, 1828 in Seskinore, Co. Tyrone, Ireland married my gg aunt Elizabeth Johnston in Ontario, Canada. His parents were Arthur Allen and Mary Clingen. Arthur was a land surveyor. Arthur's youngest child Letitia was born in Ireland in 1837 so the family emigrated after that and I think immediately after that as the oldest daughter married in Ontario abt 1837. I wonder if they might be connected to your Allen family. I have written to Seskinore Presbyterian Church some time ago but have not received a reply.Peggy Gordon
