*** FAMILY HISTORY ***

 Elizabeth ALLAN was the 6th child of Andrew ALLAN and Catherine DRUMMOND. Born in Inverness-shire in 1844, she came out to Australia with her parents and family aged only 16. She married John INGLIS 10 years later at the local Scrub Hill Church in 1870. They brought up 4 children in that same area, then in 1877, Elizabeth suddenly died at age 33. Left a widower with 4 children, John INGLIS set out in 1882 for the recently opened Mardan District in South Gippsland. In extremely dense forest he fashioned a life for himself and his children. Only a few years later, his nephews Andrew and Alex ALLAN also came to the same district. they would often all get together both at work and pleasure. John INGLIS was an early Woorayl Shire Councillor and partaker of church and community groups. The original house stil stands although somewhat refurbished. Of the four children, only one offspring was produced. The ELLIOT family who married into the INGLIS family twice, had moved to Mardan from the Ballarat area near Creswick. Catherine INGLIS never married. She thought her favourite cousin Alex ALLAN to be far too good for the likes of his wife Mary McKinnon. In her later years whilst in a wheelchair , she went to stay with, and was looked after by that same Mary McKinnon.The wheels of fate grind exceedingly small!! It's believed Andrew INGLIS married a 2nd time, presumably after his wife died.John INGLIS (1906) was a good friend of his 2nd cousin David ALLAN from Mardan South, In 1955 Barbara INGLIS was in the same High School class as Geoffrey ALLAN, and many years later Paul INGLIS(1969 - Now an accountant) was in the same High School Grade as his friend and 4th cousin Chris ALLAN from Mardan South.
