Re: David William Allardice of 19 James St, Liverpool, & Ann Allardice

Hi Rebecca,

I'm trying to find distant relatives in Chile, and as Bill mentioned "a strong Chilean connection" in regard to the Allardices, this may be of interest to you.
I can tell you that a Kenneth Allardice (b. 1888, d. 1960) married Alice McLaughlin there. She was (born c.1881, d. 1971) the daughter of Thomas McLaughlin, (b. 1836, Arequipa, Peru) & Annie Maugan.
The McLaughlins moved to Valparaiso, Chile around 1850, perhaps earlier, but definitely before 1852.
Kenneth & Alice had two sons, David W. who died at the battle of Alamein (Lieutenant, Kings o Liverpool Reg), and Philip M. who was a "FlyingOfficer" in the RAF who died at/near Malta (both in WW2, obviously).
The parents are buried in the Dissidents Cemetary in Valparaiso (dissidents because non-catholics could not be buried alongside the faithful). The boys' names are on a memorial plaque in St Paul's (C of E) Church on Templeman St, Valparaiso.
I might be able to access photos of the graves & plaque if you are interested.
Regards,
David Thomas
