Hello Valerie, Apologies for commencing a new thread but I have not been receiving posts via my Hotmail account and unable to respond to your post. I have referred to “Irish Passenger Lists 1847-1871” edited by Brian Mitchell which contains the names and addresses of in excess of 27,000 emigrants to the U.S. and Canada carried by the two Derry shipping companies J & J Cooke Line and McCorkell Line to Philadelphia, Quebec, St John & New Orleans. There are three records for Allens from Castlefin (Donaghmore parish) and Convoy which may be connected to your family: “Alleghaney” to Philadelphia 1847 UNITY ALLEN of Castlefin “Lumley” to Philadelphia 1850 ANDREW ALLEN of Convoy “Superior” to Philadelphia 1851 HENRY ALLEN of Castlefin Sadly, there appears to be no record of your forebears and it is possible they made their way to Glasgow (Greenock) and sailed from there. There was no systematic record of emigrants from Ireland until the 1890s. Hope this helps, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia
