Kenneth Allan and Mary Jane emigrated to Canada and when they were registering their names to immigration authorities they were misnamed as Mr & Mrs Kenneth Allan. The couple settled at Medicine Hat, Alberta and they had a family all using the surname Allan. The first time the children heard the name Macaskill was at their father's funeral.
