 In 1599, he published his own "Psalmes of David in Meter", giving his London address as Dukes Place, near Aldgate, and describing himself as a 'gentleman' and a 'practitioner' of music.This print also includes his coat of arms, providing much information about his family.In the same year, seven of his instrumental works appeared without attribution in Morley's "First Booke of Consort Lessons" (claims that Allison may have been the 'gentleman' who financed the publication remain unsubstantiated and seem improbable).
