Hello everyone
I'm new to Roots and wondered whether anyone could help with my elusive Allens.
Henry ALLEN b 1867 Avening, Glos (have cert) partner Mazillia LOVERIDGE b 1865 Horsley, Glos (info LDS). No marriage found.
ChildrenHerbert Ernest ALLEN b 1889 Rodborough, Glos (have cert)
Andrew J ALLEN c 1890 Staines, Middlesex
George E ALLEN c 1899 Rodborough, Glos. Died 1918 (family memorial card)
Ivy ALLEN c 1900
1891 census. Rockness Hill. Horsley, Stroud. In a shed.
Henry ALLEN 24 Road labourer Nailsworth Glos
Mazella 25 Shiptons Lane
Herbert E 2 Kings Court, Rodborough, Glos
Andrew J 8 months Middlesex, Nr Staines
There must have been other children I would have thought given the age gap between Andrew and George.
I have been unable to find them in 1901. I have searched with every different spelling I can think of.
CWWG information for death 1918 of George Edward Allen gives His parents as Henry and Ellen ALLEN of 9 Alfred St Reading.
About a year ago I decided to concentrate on Ivy Allen as I had made contact with another researcher who had given me new information.
Ivy ALLEN (b) c 1900 married Harry John Cockle 02/10/1920 Rodborough,Stroud.
Ivy Cockell (her grandson insists) died 1934 Stroud, Gloucester .
I had already trawled 1920-1940 on Ancestry as I remembered my Mum saying that her aunt had died in Stroud and she had died quite young. I couldn’t find her. Armed with new info I thought I must have missed her and searched again five years either side just to make sure. Still couldn’t find her so I e-mailed Gloucestershire Archives giving them every scrap of information. They couldn't find her either but they did give me two other names: Ivy's husbands father and brother, they tie in with the address I had given them.
Any help or suggestions on where to go next gratefully recieved.
