Tom Davies, My great-great-grandfather was Thomas Darlison born Bedworth Warwickshire1805. His mother was Sarah Warren (Warrant, Worrands). He married Mary Hadden and by the start of 1828 had three children - all boys. Two died in early 1828 from disease. Just before Christmas 1828, Tom Darlison was out poaching with 11 of his friends and cousins who were all from Coventry and Bedworth. They were poaching on Sir William Dugdale's Estate at Merevale near Atherstone and were caught. All were transported to New South Wales in Australia arriving in 1829. Tom Darliston (known as Red Tom) had a florid compexion. All the 12 young men were in employment and could all read and write. Tom changed his name as a convict to Darliston. When his first wife died in Bedworth, he married an Irish widow and started a large family here in Australia settling in Goulburn, NSW where he did well in the gold rushes of 1851-1860. He ended up with two farms. My mother owns one of them today. I have more detail on Red Tom's genealogy and newspaper accounts of the trial at Warwick Assizes and the subsequent riots by the people of Bedworth and Coventry about the treatment of the 12 young men. Two regiments troops of soldiers had to be returned to Warwick to quell the rioters and a subterfuge undertaken in order that the citizens of Coventry did not ambush the party taking the 12 convicts to London.  I have visited Bedworth but have not have the good fortune to spend any fruitful time there looking at records.  Red Tom died on the banks of the Wollondilly River near Goulburn, NSW, on his property in 1866.TDAVIESACT.HOUSLEY.COM.AU        More details Here

Ron Dallison, My father is from GLOUCESTER in England. The Dallison that emigrated was my father - Rev. Anthony Richard DALLISON, born August 8th, 1945. We left LIVINGSTON, Scotland in 1977 to come to King City, Ontario, Canada. My grandfather, Richard Dallison, lived in ABERDEEN.

( Dallison is the Anglicized version of D'Alencon, a French duke that came to England with William the Conqueror in 1066. There are 53 Dallisons in the States and a town of Dallison in West Virginia). Ron_Dallisonlongmfg.com

Bob Dallison, My grandfather WILLIAM DALLISON and his father William lived in Staffordshire, BURTON ON TRENT 1860 - 1920. Before that my family were in DERBY. I have not yet been able to link my branch to either Jean Mosley's / Malcolm Dallison's branch, although they lived in close proximity.I have traced my Dallison branch back to Thomas Dallison who married Sarah Oldershaw on Christmas Day 1800 in St Alkmund's Parish Church in Derby. I have located quite a bit of information concerning their lives from that point on. Although I know that Thomas was born within a couple of years of 1773, I do not have a precise date nor have I been able to identify his parents. The problem is that there are at least five Thomas Dallisons living in the Derby in that time frame. My problem is identifying which Thomas is my ancestor. Any assistance or advice would be appreciated dallisonnbnet.nb.ca

Judith Marie Darlison,  ARTHUR AND ANNE DARLISON (nee Miller) are my parents from Scotland. Arthur A Darlison was born in Glasgow in 1937. I was born in Balieston, Glasgow. We moved to Australia in 1963.  jutikedyahoo.com Failed link

Roger Williams, Thomas Rought Dallison (chr. 1834, d 1921), the son of Thomas Dallison and Anne Rought, of DERBY, England, emigrated to Adelaide, Australia in 1849 with his family, and subsequently to New Zealand. He married Jane Wilson in 1867, having 3 daughters and one son. Their son, William, had 5 daughters, so this particular branch of the family no longer bears the Dallison surname. Another branch of the family continues, but the relationship is not yet established. Thomas lived in the Manawatu area of New Zealand. His daughters married locally, but descendants are known to be widespread. The daughters were Jane (m. Charles Wildbore), Mary (m. Matthias Mai), and Celia (m. John Bishop). The family which emigrated to Australia is believed to include Mary, Eliza, Louisa, Celia, Anne and William. Information of descendants or ancestors gratefully received. roger.williamsactrix.gen.nz

Cyndi Connelley, I am trying to locate some information on my great-great-great-great grandparents. Their names are Edward H. Jackson and Mary Isabel Dallison Jackson. I know that Edward was born in 1836 in Lawrence Co., PA. (His parents were Jas (James?) and Margaret m. 19 July 1843 in Parkersburg, WVA) Edward and his wife were married on 15 Sept. 1869 in Parkersburg, WVA. They had four children in Parkersburg WVA, named James Arnold; Margaret Salina; Laura L; and Pearl. Mary died on 27 May 1908 in Parkersburg. Edward died 12 June 1912 in Parkersburg.

Mary Isabel Dallison (Edward’s wife) was the daughter of James Dallison and Frances Salina Shingleton. Frances was born in 1834 in Taylor County, WVA. She married James in Parkersburg, WVA. She died in Wood County, WVA in 1855. Their son was Granville D. Dallison born in Wood county, West Virginia, October 17, 1853, and married Maggie Reece, who was born in the same county and in the same year on the 16th of July. Their marriage took place November 15, 1877, and two sons were born of it as follows: William Richard, September 28, 1878, and John Frederick, August 10, 1880. James A. Dallison resided in Pennsylvania in his later years. His wife's parents, Henry and Anna (King) Reece, were well-known residents of Wood county, WVA. James A. Dallison took an active part in the service of the government, during the war between the States, enlisting in Battery K, of the Ohio Artillery (http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvwood/civil10.htm), and participating in thirty-two battles. Among his engagements were the battles at Gettysburg, second Bull Run, Cross Keys and Antietam. He served through the entire war, and at its close received an honorable discharge. Granville D. Dallison is thoroughly proficient mechanic at his trade, that of a sawyer, and was engaged as head sawyer at Dunn's mill in Schultz, Pleasants county, West Virginia.

I think that James Dallison is the son of Jesse Dollison (changed his name to Dallison) who was married to Anne Hood. John Hood has agreed with this, we are just looking for primary source evidence. cyconnelindiana.edu

Robert D. Mathews, I am a great grandson of Jessie Dallison-Dollison, my grandmother was Elizabeth Rachel Dallison married to John Mathews, they lived in Cameron W.Va. Marshall Co, and raisied 7 children, I believe. I have information on the Dallison-Dollison families. I think Jessie's father was Alexander Church Dallison. mother was Anna Hood. rmath32392aol.com

Ron & Pat Cole, Pat's mother was a Ruth Emily Darlison,born at Featherstone in W.Yorks in 1901. Ruth's father was a Thomas Jenkins Darlison,who we think was born in Ardsley/Darfield area W.Yorkshire about 1875 but we are unable to trace this. His father was a Thomas Darlison who was born at Church Greasley near Burton-on-Trent in about 1857.We think his ancestors hail from either Bedworth or Foleshill / Coventry.His mother was an Elizabeth Ann Jenkins was formerly Harper [Her mother was a Mary Riley]. She first married a a man called Jenkins at 16yrs old but was a widow at 18! We had traced a person from Church Greasley (James Darlison) and think it was his father. There is a family story, but we think that the generation was wrong in the tale, that Thomas Darlison (who was born 7th Feb.1855 at Church and his mother was called Ellen Darlison formerly Lowe) walked from Staffordshire with his son Thomas Jenkins D.,when he heard that Featherstone Main Colliery was to open at the end of the last century, lived rough and then fetched the rest of the family on getting accommodation and settled there.We think that that generation moved to the Barnsley area from Staffordshire originally and then maybe did walk to Featherstone. Thomas Jenkins Darlison was obviously born in Yorkshire as we understand that he played cricket for Yorkshire for a short time and Rugby for Hull Kingston Rovers. Allioniicolebtinternet.com

Foot notes

Ellen window of James Darlison lived with her daughter Ellen Rubery until her death in 1892 Pontefract.  Assume James died somewhere between 1871 and 1881 as does not appear on the 1881 census.  Another fact is a grand-daughter to James appears 1871 census Rebecca born 1866 West Bromwich but am unsure who's daughter she is, Rebecca appears on the 1881 census as a servant to a family called Bottomley address given as Wakefield Rd, Tong, Yorkshire.

As you can see I still have a lot of gaps to fill in, as I shall be in the U.K. in July 2006 hope some of them will be filled, added to that have only been doing this for about a year and a half so am very new to this game so :- ALL HELP EAGERLY ACCEPTED. Also thanks to Pat Risdale if ever she reads this for all her work on Thomas Jenkins Darlison and his history.  One day I hope to find where on earth James and Ellinor started out. pat26438hotmail.com

Richard Darlison, I have traced the tree back to a family that left London, England sometime between 1832 and 1912 (probably between 1865 and 1912). The people who emigrated were Mary Ann Reece (b 4 Jan1842) and her husband GEORGE DARLISON* (b 26 Oct1832) married (probably in London) on 29 Jan1865. The father of George is thought to be Samuel or Thomas or more likely Samuel Thomas Darlison (b abt 1806 in London). dickdnet-link.net 

*Anecdotal information indicates that George comes from a silk weaving family in London

The LDS have a George born to Samuel Darlison and Jane Montgomery 26th Oct 1832. Jane could be the daughter of John and Jane Montgomery christened 20 Sept 1805, Scots Church, Woolwich, Kent.

(To give an idea of name distribution in 1881, a Samuel Darlison was born c 1810 in Upton, Leicester, England and in 1881 was living at Turnpike Road (Collycroft), census area Bedworth, Warwickshire, with his wife Sarah (aged 66) and Maria Darlison age 14 born in Bedworth. The only other three Samuel Darlisons in the 1881 census were all born in Bedworth, Warwickshire in 1844, 1863 and 1874. Also alive at this time in the England were 10 Thomas Darlisons 4 born in Leicestershire 1821, 1858, 1868 and 1880, 4 born in Warwickshire 1826, 1832, 1842 and 1879 and 2 born in Yorkshire 1858 and 1875)

**GEORGE DARLISON was born in London, England, Oct. 26, 1836. He was a son of Thomas and Jane (Montgomery) Darlison, deceased. January, 1865, he was married in this county to Mary A. Reece, dec., who was born Jan. 9, 1842, of parents, Thomas and Alice Reece, deceased. As the fruit of this marriage these children were born: Thomas S., Lucretia J., Alice A., Emma G., Charlotte, dec., Francis M., Edith L. and George.  Comrade Darlison was a laborer of 23 years when the war broke out.  He enlisted about the middle of April, 1861, at Constantine, Mich., as a private in Co. G, 2d Mich. V.I., 1st Brig., 3d Div., 2d A.C., under Capt. John C. Lawson, for three months' service, and went by order to Detroit, where he re enlisted for three years May 12, 1861, and moved from there Washington.  The first engagement was at Blackburn's Ford July 18, 1861, 2d engagement was Bull Run; 3d was Siege of Yorktown, serving in Berry's Brig., Dearny's Div.; 4th at Williamsburg May 5th; 5th at Fair Oaks May 31; at Charles City Cross Roads June 30; 6th the seven days' fight, during which he was fighting or retreating day and night, and had had no sleep for three days and three nights before being on picket duty, making in all ten days and nights, and wound up with the battle of Malvern Hill July 1st, after which they went into camp at Harrison's Landing, where he was sick more or less all the time, being exhausted with the long siege and having piles, diarrhea and rheumatism. He was detailed as wagoner Aug. 15, when the regiment took up march. The next engagement was Fredericksburg Dec. 12; (they were then transferred to 9th A.C.); they then went to Newport News, and from there to Bardstown, Ky. From here they went up to Lexington, Ky., where he was detailed to headquarters of the Central Dept. of Ky., where they were doing duty of different kinds until July 31st, when he was struck in the hand by a grape shot and the same day taken prisoner, it being Sunday. They were compelled to travel day and night without food and but little rest until the next Thursday night when they arrived at Concord, Tenn., where they were fed upon corn meal and taken to Knoxville, Tenn., where they were put in the county jail and fed upon corn bread and boiled liver with maggots on from one-half inch to an inch long, served in a clothes basket all together. There being a great many there hungry and accustomed to this way of eating they rushed ahead and ate it all before the strangers got anything, so they missed their rations until they got acquainted. Here they remained for eighteen or twenty days when they were taken to Richmond, Va., where they were put in Libby prison for three or four days and then taken to belle Isle, a small island in the river at Richmond, where they remained until our subject was paroled. Here they were fed part of the time on corn bread and part of the thime on wheat bread, with bean soup once in awhile for a treat (made from gray peas with no grease except the insects that were among the peas). After awhile the bread became so scarce the prisoners got hardly enough to keep body and soul together, receiving but twenty pounds of corn bread for 110 men for a day's rations, and nothing to drink but the muddy river water. For change of diet they were taken out and counted once or twice a week so as to fill up the hundreds if any had died, for fear there would be issued rations for some that were dead, on these days they did not have time to feed the prisoners at all. Some days a sweet potato about as big as a man's fist was issued for a day's rations instead of bread.  The prisoners were poorly clad and had no blankets, as their clothes and blankets were taken away from them, and all the tents or means of protection they had were a few tents captured from a Vermont regiment, about enough for 300 men and there was about 4,800 there when our subject got there; the prisoners took turns in camp, being entitled to them as they were paroled; they were allowed no fire, so they had to endure the changes of weather just as it might come, either hot or cold. Christmas Day, 1863, they each had a raw sweet potato for their rations, the next day they were counted again so did not get anything and the 28th of December 500 men were paroled and went to City Point; went aboard a flag of truce boat and went down  the river to Fortress Monroe and across the Chesapeake Bay to Annapolis, Md., where they arrived Dec. 31st.  Once more in the land of the living, the next day was the happiest New Years that any of the poor fellows ever knew. They went from here to Camp Chase, Ohio, where they remained until May, 1864, when they were exchanged and went to their regiments. Our subject was engaged in but few more battles, including North Anna River, Tolopotomy, Bethesda Church and several others, and was honorably discharged July 12, 1864, at Detroit, Mich.  Comrade Darlison belongs to W.J. Mays Post, No. 65; his occupation is that of a farmer and his address is Corey, Cass Co., Mich. (from Presidents, Soldiers, Statesmen H.H. Hardesty, Publisher, New York, Toledo and Chicago, 1898).
