Biography

Research NoteReason for investigating Allin A. Royce. This person is entered because he may have some connection with William Royce, the father of Elizabeth (Royce) Ferris, wife of Josiah Seymour Ferris.

Allin A. Royce was a witness at William Royce's marriage at All Hallows Church, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire in 1793.

An Allin A. Royce was baptized at Wing, Rutland, in 1766.

This Allin A. Royce's father was born in England, according to the 1880 census, and the 1870 census says his father was foreign born.

There is a large Royce family in the area of Wing, Rutland, which is 25 miles north of Wellingborough. There is a William Royce baptism in the same family as Allin A.

She was at work about the house as usual and her husband was at work in the garden. He heard her call to him and proceeding at once to the house, he found her prostrated upon the floor absolutely helpless. Assistance was summoned and the unfortunate lady made as comfortable as possible. The shock had done its work, however, and she was far past recovery. After being removed to a bed she at once fell asleep, and lay in that condition until seven o'clock yesterday (Thursday) [Nov 17] morning when she passed quietly and peacefully away.

Mrs. Royce was stricken with paralysis on Christmas day, four years ago, but from that shock she recovered.
