Notes - 1873 Death - Terri Allen of Maffra, Australia put together a family history booklet in which she relates some interesting information about George's demise. Deemed an accident, a coroner's inquest was held into his death. It seems that George and his son Thomas had been at the fair in Ballymote where they sold a horse. Thomas' statement conceded some drinking had occurred prior to the sale, and again after, but swore that George was not intoxicated. Thomas stopped to visit with a companion and "lit his pipe" while his father continued home alone. He drowned soon after. The policeman's sworn statement says "that his body was found by drag 10 perches from the road in 7 feet of water".
The 1873 Sligo Chronicle states: "The jury found that the said George Allen came to his death at O'Hem [Ougham], on the night of the 27th of January 1873 by drowning, and we further find that the deceased lost his life in consequence of the flooded state of this road and that the neglected state of this public road is a great scandal to the parties accountable for its' proper condition, and we respectfully call upon the Grand Jury to see that the said road be at once put in good order to prevent similar accidents."
