*** FAMILY HISTORY ***

 David ALLAN was the 4th child of David ALLAN and Isabella ROBERTSON. Together with his brother Richard they stayed on the farm at Scrub Hill. He and Richard often wrote to (and visited) Alex and Andrew ALLAN in Gippsland telling of farm life and happenings. Like his father, he was involved with the Scrub Hill Church all his life. He did not hold many major community positions , but was a sober and industrious person. He brought up 3 children. He lived in Scrub Hill all his life, dying in 1934 aged 64. His son Andrew Alexander ALLAN ( Alex ) carried on the farm until retirement in the 1970's. Alex had only 2 daughters and so sold the farm, ending 122 years of farming by the ALLANs in that community. Alex and Pam moved into Creswick town and retired. Alex died in 1982. Alex's two daughters were both married in the Scrub Hill Church. Bronwyn later moved to a farm with her husband at Watchupga, near Birchip, Victoria. Mother Pam HENDER left Creswick afterwards and went to Woomelang near Birchip, returning to Creswick prior to her death in 1997. Alison and Isa ALLAN were both schoolteachers, and were the first to be involved in ALLAN history, when they visited " Inverlair ", Scotland in the late 1960's.
