Allan Cameron was the son of Angus Cameron and Margaret McMillan. He was born at Fort William, Scotland on 11th April 1842, and christened on 18th May 1842 in the Parish of Kilmallie, Argyll, Scotland.

Allan came to New Zealand about 1865. At the time of his marriage in 1878 to Margaret, he was a butcher and they lived for a time at Butchers Gully, Otago. In 1895 they were living in Maia, close to Ravensbourne, Dunedin, where St Leonards Parish records show the baptisms and marriages of some of his children. His death certificate states his occupation was as a soapmaker, and that he died in the Mental Hospital at Seacliff, Otago. The cause of his death, by verdict of the coroner, was senile decay and pneumonia.
