Hi Glitter Baby, Yes I have the marriage certificate of Elizabeth who married a John Allan in 1875..Elizabeths parents are listed as Edward Dow a Master Baker and Margaret Dow nee Henderson. Elizabeth was a domestic servant before marriage.. 1881 census gives Elizaneth birth place as Tranent Haddington |

Not having much luck with 1861 either. Nearest match is for Dour but born 1841 Tranent but living as a servant I presume you have parents names from marriage certificate of Elizabeth to John Allen Maureen |

Allan The one that Georgina found in the 1901 John was born in England 1881 Elizabeth Allan Age: 33 Estimated birth year: abt 1848 Relationship: Wife Spouse's name : John Gender: Female Where born: Auldearn, Invernesshire Registration Number: 685/3 Registration district: Canongate Civil parish: Edinburgh South Leith County: Midlothian Address: 2 Kirkwood Place ED: 34 Page: 12 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 58 Line: 11 Roll: cssct1881_287 Household Members: Name Age Annie Allan 1 Elizabeth Allan 33 Elizabeth Allan 4 John Allan 37 John Allan 7 Margaret A Allan 11 This john too was born in England. So it could be the 1901 info was wrong maybe |

I only wish that I could be more positive as the correct census..I know that John Allan was retired from the army in 1899.. chances are there were more children to the marriage but I have no knowledge of it. |

Allen The Elizabeth i found in the 1881 through to the 1901 John is saying born in England. This one is very confusing Julie |

One reason for the 1881 census being at place of residence Dollar Cackmannan is that Elizabeth and Johns Allan son George was enrolled at the Dollar Academy.. |

You seem to be on thte right track..The 1891 census seems to fit with the 1881 census |

I found that Elizabeth Allan birth did swing from 1847 to 1842..for those two census...but it is differently 1847... seems to get more confusing. |
