Allice, Alice, Alles, Allis families in Scotland

There are several families in Scotland which may or may not be related.
The spelling used is predominately Alice or Allice but with other assorted versions of the name including one quite large family from Kinross that was Alles.

The parish records found go back to the early 1600s and civil registration started in 1855. Although scattered, the centre of activity appears around Auchterarder in Perthshire, with families in Kinross, Alloa and other nearby towns and villages.

There are also immigrants from England and Ireland.

There are several cases of Alles and Allice becoming Ellis to add to the difficulties of following the branches.
The Alles family from Kinross in particular often became Ellis at times. This line has also solved the mystery of the Liverpool and Cheshire Alles family

These families will be added to the tribalpages family trees in due course.
