Can anyone trace any more details about William Allen

The facts I have about him are that he married Frances Huddlestone on 24th December 1835 at St mary de Castro Church Leicester. (no other details are available from parish records)

A son was born on March 10th 1838, also named William in the parish of st Margarets East Leicester. William senior's occupation is given as a labourer and the family were living at Burleys lane, Leicester.

Frances died in January 1841 at the age of 25 (born 1815) at Wymondham William's name appears on the death certificate.

A William Allen born Edmondthorpe aged 35 appears in the 1851 census living at Scalford with a new wife? called Ann born North Luffenham aged 27 and a son called William aged 13. William senior is described as an agricultural labourer.

A marriage took place at St John the Baptist(Luffenham) in 1847 between WilliamAllen and Ann but I haven't been able to get further details.

If he is shown as a widower  this would confirm that he is the William I'm looking for. Any other details would be greatly appreciated. names.

(the son William survived and was married at All Saints Church Leicester in 1859 to Mary Ann Kimberlin. His occupation is policeman aged 21 William senior is on the certificate) 

Thanks
