NotesA baptismal record was found in Harwood Dale, Yorkshire, England, for Herbert Arthur ALLISON son of William & Emma, labourer, bap 29 Sep 1895.

A death registration was found for Emma Allison: Estimated Birth Year: abt 1874; Year of Registration: 1902; Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun; Age at Death: 28; District: Scarborough; County: Yorkshire - East Riding, Yorkshire - North Riding, North Yorkshire; Volume: 9d; Page: 236.

William Allinson married at least twice more before his death in 1948.

In 1906, Herbert A. Allison, 10, arrived in Portland, Maine, along with a group of 182 children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

On February 9, 1916, in Hamilton, Ontario, Wentworth, Canada, a marriage was registered between Herbert Arthur Allinson and Gwendolyn Constance Clarice Whitehouse.

On June 27, 1916, Herbert Arthur Allinson enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces (Service Number: 240583; 205th Tiger Battalion later transferred to the 164th Battalion). He declared that he resided at 2 Ben Lomond Place, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (a previous address, Mountain Park Avenue, had been crossed out and replaced); that he was born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England; that his next of kin was his wife, Gwendolyn Constance Clarice Allinson, who resided at 2 Ben Lomond Place, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (originally her first name was shown as Queenie, but crossed out); that his date of birth was December 26, 1895; and that he was a farmer. He was described as 5 foot 6-1/2 inches in height; ruddy complexion; blue eyes; and auburn hair. He was a member of Methodist faith. He had distinguishing marks of a scar on his left knuckle, index finger, left hand; and a vaccination scar on his left arm.

The 205th (Tiger) Battalion was organized and recruited in Hamilton, Ontario beginning in late February 1916. By this time, recruiting had begun to fall off in the city, and it was hoped that by forming a battalion named after the city's esteemed Tigers athlectic club would rectify this problem. However, after an initial spurt of interest, recruiting dropped off considerably. By the time the battalion was sent to Camp Borden during the summer, it was still significantly understrength. The unit returned to Hamilton in the autumn and was evidently redesignated a "machine gun battalion" a short while later. Nothing much came of this, however, and several months later the unit was broken up for drafts. One company was transferred to 164th Battalion which was recruiting neighbouring Halton County.

Herbert and Gwendolyn Allinson had three children: Marion, William and Audrey Ethel.
