Allingham family of Glencar, Killasnet Parish, Co. Leitrim, Ireland

Posted on by Jack

I wrote about the Allingham family of Glencar, Killasnet Parish, Co. Leitrim, Ireland several times but the last time was late last year.

At that time I identified 4 children including my great grandmother. I think now I have information indicating 8 children and I expect there may be more that I have not yet found. In most cases the evidence is pretty good; in others it is not quite enough. So I’ll have to do another post to bring you up-to date on this.

  2. Hi Jack
    My great grand mother was Jane Allingham, who married James Middleton in 1862 (I think) and they lived in Sarcreeghan, Killasnet. I don’t know who Jane’s parents were but I’m hoping to do some more research. Jane’s daughter, Lezzie, married Robert Allingham in1909.

  3. Hi Marie,

    I’ve already replied to your comment on the older blog and I’ll just copy and paste that below. Thanks for commenting. If you would like a more extensive convesation on the Allinghams, I’d be glad to do that. Let me know.

    You had mentioned Follis Middleton in the other blog. That is a very unusual name and I hope that helps in seaching.

    Here’s the other –
    There are several Allingham families in Leitrim and it is hard to tell how they are related. But since your Allinghams amd mine both lived in the same townland I am almost certain they are related.

    Ralph Clark has put together a nice page on how he thinks all the Allinghams in that part of Ireland are related. That was many years ago (2001) and just based on what he had then. For example, it seem to include your Jane’s father but not Jane. His page on the Allinghams of Leitrim is at

    It is also interesting that if you look at family search for “Name: Jane Allingham, Event: Marriage, Place: Leitrim, Ireland, Event Range: 1862-1862, Country:Ireland” you will find 2 Jane Allinghams married in that year. One is mine and the other is yours. So it seems your Jane’s father is Robert.

    So I am not sure how our families related but I think they are. Has anyone in your family line done autosomal DNA?
