Only one Allan Tannock is found close to this period in Scotland, and that is Allan Cleugh Tannock, born 28 AUG 1869 (not 1873) in Greenock, Renfrewshire, to Quinten Tannock and Margaret Porter (see www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for original record). Several online hosted family trees on Ancestry.co.uk show him to have died in Oregon, USA, in 1927
