I am researching the family of Captain Francis Allman 1780-1860 who was born in County Clare. however, I suspect there is a strong connection to the Allman's of Cork. His father was John Allman, his mother Hannah Jannes. Any information on whether there was a family connection would be appreciated.
In 1855, in Griffith's Valuation of Clare, I found the following:
| Griffith | Allman | Mrs Hannah | Corranroo | Abbey | Co. Clare |
I hope this helps.
Allman - Co. Clare

It would appear that John Allman had served in the 48th Regiment as a Captain. Reference in Clare Journal of July 4th 1836. He was at that time Magistrate for County Galway and residing in Eyrecourt, East, County Galway. Valuation of his house in Co. Clare in that year was £20.00.

Was Francis a brother of Captain John Allman of Eyrecourt, County Galway and Corranroo, Abbey, Burren Barony. A John Allman was granted a marriage licence in Killaloe 1807. His intended - Hanah Daly.
Is this person the same as Captain John Allman?

I'm unsure if this is of any interest or if you still monitor these responses. I am researching Martin Kelly (1801-1873) from Queens County who was transported to Australia in 1828. The charge was disputed and in a letter to him from his family in 1831 is the following sentence: "There is a nephew of Captain Almon (sic) going out to his unkel (sic) and he is taking this letter for us. Me Mother was taking to him at Mrs McCalls in _____ and he will see you when he goes to his unkel."
Martin Kelly was at Muswellbrook NSW, where I understand Francis Allman had a property in the 1830s. Would be really interested in connecting with you regarding this family as I am trying to establish the date that Martin arrived at Muswellbrook.
