This web site traces the family of Thomas & Amelia (Millie) Allott. They arrived in Melbourne, with their 3 children, on 23 October 1856 aboard the "Eagle". They completed their "tree change" by settling in Hurdle Flat near Beechworth in the north-east goldfields of Victoria, where they lived out their lives and raised their children in a very different environment to their native Yorkshire.

Their children were:
There is some contention concerning the order of the children and the actual number. On the death certificate of Amelia there are listed 15 names, and on that of Thomas 14. Both certificates were completed by their son Thomas. Certainly there were only 3 children who travelled to Australia. The LDS website lists the baptism of Mary Ann Allott, 24 Jan 1849 at St.Mary's, Sheffield. Father: Thomas and Mother: Amelia. The database of the
Sheffield General Cemetery (this link now only
connects to their web site not their database) has a
listing for Henry Allott The GRO in England has some registrations that are
possibly relevant to the English born children for whom I
have no formal birth information: |

It is with great regret that I announce the
passing of Mary Lynch on 7 August 2019. Mary was a friend I made
when I first started this project. She was a kind and generous
person who gladly shared her research with me - and I presume
others. Most of her research was "old school", not using the
easy path of the internet. She provided me with a large part of
the Allott family tree, for which I will always be grateful.
Pleasant chats over a cup of tea and her amazing memory for
dates will be the things I will always remember about Mary.
I would like to thank everyone from whom I have received
assistance with information and especially copies of documents and
photographs relating to the various members of the family. Without
their interest and help this site would be reduced to simply
names, dates and places.
My special thanks go to the following: Laurie Allott (dec.), Keith
Archibald (dec.), Mary Cleary, Lee Hall, Aileen Cooper, Ngaire
Francis, Gladys Peake & Judy Dixon who between them provided
most of the photographs & documents. A large part of the tree
structure is from Mary Lynch. Thanks also to new contributors
Eileen Allott, Dulcie Beer, Graham Paxinos, Jennifer Fox & Jan
Curran as well as the interest shown by Ian Allott & Thelma
Hutchison.
For anyone who would like to correct my errors or add new information, I encourage you to contact me. The same applies to anyone wanting higher resolution copies of any of the material in these pages. The external links were correct at the time of publishing.
