Hi List

 

The Australian Dictionary of Biography entry for David ALLAN (1780-1852)
mentions that in July 1819 David ALLAN, his wife Sophia and 8 children left
Sydney for Europe in the Surrey. I believe they went to London as a daughter
was born there in Sept 1820. 

 

I am trying to find a record of them arriving in England. Where do I look?
I've tried everything I can think of.  

 

Further info for the family -

 

The family initially came to Australia in 1813 on the Fortune where David
took up the position of deputy Commissary General of New South Wales. They
returned to England in 1819 on the Surrey, more children were born and died,
his wife died, he remarried and more children were born. In 1829 most of the
family returned to Australia in the Prince Regent to settle, some in New
South Wales and some in Victoria.

 

Details of the family believed to be on the Surrey in 1819 are:

David ALLAN (abt 40) - born 1779 Edinburgh, Scotland  

Sophia ALLAN (nee JOHNSTON) - born ? Edinburgh, Scotland 

David Hendrie ALLAN (19) - born 1800 Edinburgh, Scotland

Robert Innes ALLAN (18) - born 1801 Edinburgh, Scotland

Henry Blair Watson ALLAN (14) - born 1804 Edinburgh, Scotland

Sophia ALLAN (13) - born 1806 Edinburgh, Scotland

John McMahon ALLAN (10) -  born 1808 Heligoland, Germany

William Osborne ALLAN (9) - born 1810 Heligoland, Germany

Marie Antoinette ALLAN (7) - born 1812 Heligoland, Germany

George Octavius ALLAN (2) - born 1817 Sydney, Aust

Erskine Johnston ALLAN (1) - born 1818 Sydney, Aust.

 

When the family returned in 1829, Dvaid Hendrie ALLAN stayed in England.
George Octavius ALLAN wasn't on the Prince Regent passenger list, he would
have been about 12 then, so don't know when he returned to Australia.

 

Hope someone can help me because I'm going around in circles.
