Joe Allport 7 March 2004 wrote:
Joseph Allport was a gun maker in Liverpool, England and his son told my father that he lost his fortune selling small arms to the Confederacy because he accepted too much paper money. Has anyone heard of Joseph Allport or does anyone know of any research books on individual Liverpool gun makers?
Geoff Walden replied 7 March 2004
In the Liverpool city directories, he is still listed as a gunmaker in 1865-1868, so it would appear he survived in business for a while following the war.
Joe Allport replied 7 March 2004
Thanks Geoff. I knew that Joseph moved in 1865 and 1868, but I figured it had something to do with his misfortune over the trade with the CSA. Either he had to downsize his gunmaking business or it is just a coincidence. His son said that Joseph had a trunk full of Confederate paper money.
Bernard Pratt replied 5 Oct 2007:
Joseph Allport, born Birmingham about 1817, gunsmith, was in Ireland on January 21, 1841, when he married Catherine Hewitt, born Cork about 1819. They were my great-greatgrandparents. Joseph's father and grandfather before him were gunmakers in Birmingham.
It seems likely that they left Ireland at the time of the potato famine. I've looked for the street where Joseph and Catherine later lived in Liverpool, but the Victorian properties have been demolished.
There has been extensive research by family historians into the Allport family.
