Maria Davis, widow of John Davis, married John Maisey, that's why she brought up her eldest granddaughter.

Thanks very much for your help!

Hello all,

me again!

I was wondering if anyone can help me find out what became of Clara Allen, my great-great-grandfather's youngest sister. I know she was christened in April 1840 in Colwall, Herefordshire. I can't find her marriage or death in Herefordshire, which could suggest (I suppose) she emigrated. I don't know if she is on later censuses (1851, 1861 and so on). I'd be grateful if anyone can give me any proof of what became of her, if she died or married. Thanks very much!

Hello Wozzle,

sorry, my mistake, I meant to type 1849, not 1840.

So she's alive in 1851; is she still alive in 1861 and after, do you know? I can't find her in 1881 on Familysearch though, nor a death or marriage in the county of Herefordshire of a Clara Allen, that's why I presume she may have changed county or emigrated. But this is all conjecture, I really can't find anything about her yet.

Thanks for your help :)

Thanks Wozzle!

It looks like it is her; I think Colwall is on the edge of the Herefordhsire and Worcestershire border, perhaps that's why I couldn't find her.

I think Anne Allen, Clara's mother, passed away in the Sep. quarter of 1867, so that would fit with the fact that Edward was a widower in 1871, and that his daughter was living there. Why the age is 32 and not 22 is a mystery but then again ages got muddled up often. I imagine a marriage certificate would confirm if the one who got married in 1871 was indeed the daughter of Edward's. If you have any further information I'd be grateful if you could display it (after you've got back to work naturally!). Thanks a lot for your help, first news I've got about Clara ever!

Greetings,

I've found more things on Clara's family.

I've found she married Edward Devereux/Devoreux Tyler on September 24th 1871 in Worcester. He was the son of Samuel Tyler, of Worcester, and Sarah Susanna Tyler née Devereux, of Hanley. Samuel was a taylor, Sarah Susanna a laundress.

Edward was christened in January 1850, and he passed away in 1897. I haven't found Clara's death yet. Their three daughters accounted for are Florence E(leanor?) born around 1872, Dorcas Emily, born in 1875, and Ethel Clara, born in 1879. I don't know what became of them, and if there were any more children. I know Edward had at least four siblings called Tabitha, Lewis, Dorcas and Ruth (rather odd names, a couple of them!).

I have a small mystery about Clara's mother, Anne. Anne and Edward Allen married in Withington Herefordshire in December 1838; she was a widow, and I've jotted down that her father was called Thomas Williams; her first husband's name was something Lewis, as she was Anne Lewis when she married. But that's all. I have a few mysteries to solve about her. Firstly, if she came from Colwall, Withington or other. Second, who was her mother, and where did Anne's parents come from. And I'd love to know if Anne had any children by her first husband, XXX Lewis. If you can fathom any of these points at all I'd be very thankful!
