She was living at 13 Netley Street, St Pancras, London. She was aged 20 years. With her lived her husband, W. G. Allen, born in the same town, aged 25 years, and working as a railway servant, and also her son, W. S. Allen aged 10 months, also born in St Pancras Middlesex.
Note:The transcriber mistakenly noted W.S. for W.G.

Mary Allan registered her daughter Maggie George Allan's birth in Edinburgh on 27 November 1883, and made her X mark.

In 1891 the census recorded Mary Alan, a widow and an invalid, living in a dwelling with one windowed room at 95 Muir Street with her son, William aged 10 years, and her daughter Margaret, aged 7 years. Mary was recorded as 30 years of age and born in Galston, Ayrshire. William had been born in London and Margaret in Edinburgh. Both children were at school.

In 1911 Mary Allan was living alone at 21 Barrack Street, Hamilton. She was a widow and had been born in Galston, Ayrshire.

Note: as early as the 1891 census Mary was listed as a widow. The phrasing of her death certificate suggests he husband was still living. ^{3 4 7 8 13 14 15 16 17}
