New Ross-Allen/Kehoe

I am just starting research on my mothers (Irish) side of the family.The only info I have is from a conversation going back 10-15 years and the(very brief) notes I made shortly afterwards.
The family came from New Ross early 1900's.Grandparents-James Allen & Catherine(nee Kehoe).James had numerous siblings-2 names Seamus and Sean.Ihave several names on Catherines side-Mary Elisa,T(h)eresa,Anastasia,Tom,Edward.
James and Catherine moved to and lived in Birkenhead.Their children were Jimmy,John,George,Patrick,Joseph,Laurence,Margaret(my mother),Mary.
Mother remembered going back to New Ross(ferry from Liverpool)to visit relatives several times. One Grandfather on Allen side was apparently a farrier-one on grandmother(Kehoe)side was a cobbler.
Other info - a cousin apparently joined RAF and was killed in WW2,joining up apparently caused problems in family!!
An Uncle(not known which side of family)was said to be Sergeant Major in British Army-Regiment not known.
Not expecting too much but you never know-might ring a few bells!!

New Ross Allen,

If you had the details of the births
and place born it is possible to search both 1901 & 1911 Census returns.

Surprise!
That's my family you're talking about. There's still a lot of them in the town and I'm sure they'll be easy to contact. Most of them have the same names as your branch of the family. I live in Spain now but you can contact me for more info if you like.

Good Evening Pat
This is a surprise-I had given up on any contacts.Over Christmas I found some papers on the Allen family(research done by my late Uncle Larry Allen).Includes 11 family trees of various branches of Allen family going back to Iams(James?)Allen born 1710.You may find interesting.My e-mail is brian.yates@talktalk.net.
Hope the weather is warmer with you than it is here(Lancashire)
Happy New Year
