Michael,
Have you identified all 6 children if you are trying to find more living relatives?

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

So you ARE aware of living relatives...................and have had contact with them


Which means that this statement is not quite correct............

The last living relative I new was my auntie Eillen Spilane

Leaving this now.............

Dear Sir/Madam.Thank you for the reply.Bernard Spillane is my uncle but sadly passed away some time ago.It was one of his son's Philip's daughter's that contacted me and made me aware of the Spillane family being related to me.But once they had given me all the information I contacted them several times but they did not respond back to me.Even my cousin Elizabeth Leaford has stopped emailing me after my auntie Eillen passed away. I have found another cousin Joy Coles who now lives in France and I have spoken to her over the internet but she does not have a lot of information about the Spillane or Allen families.Thank you Michael.F.Staniforth.

On 2002 ER, there was a Michelle at the same address as Bernard......and a Margaret

If you buy credits for 192, you can probably find Michelle's 2012 address

Have you followed-through on freebmd looking for possible descendants of Eileen's siblings?

Have you looked for/found their deaths?

The informants would probably be relatives, and their details will be on the death certs

Have checked 1871 image, and would agree with the transcription of the age for Johanah

As you seemingly have census access, not sure how you think we can add anything to your findings

For Irish baptisms etc, try the IGI

https://familysearch.org/

So have you now tracked your family through the censuses if you found the Allens in 1841?

Have you applied for the birth certificate of Eileen and the marriage certificate of Eileen's parents for more information, and have you found all the births of her siblings?

Have you looked to see if anyone on here have any of your family in their trees, and then tried to contact them?

Dear Sir/Madam.I got the information from one of my Spillane relatives that the family came from County Cork they thought it was around the time of the potato famine in Ireland.IWhen I asked my auntie Eileen about this when we met she told me that the family did not have any Irish connections.But when I went into it further I discovered why she told me this.Apparently there had been an child born out of wedlock and so she disowned the Irish side of the family.I have also been on the 1840 census site and that is wear I found my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother on the Allen side of the Family.Thank you Michael.F.Staniforth.

Where did you get the information that they came from County Cork?
(And do you mean the Allen family and also the Spillane family?)

If they had been living in London since the 1840's, then why do you think that living relatives will know about their past history?

Have you found your ancestors on the 1840 census?

Thank-you.

Dear Sir/Madam.Thank you for the information I have got most of the information you have sent me.My auntie Eileen did not give me a lot of information when she was alive.You see she was reluctant to speak about the family especially the Irish side of the family and that is wear I am struggling to find information.The only information I have is that they came from County Cork but don't know when they came over to England to settle in the London aria.I have contacted three living relatives all cousins but they don't know a lot or they would have told me.Once again thank you.Michael.F.Staniforth.

Presumably this was your aunt:
