I can't find the family of Lucy Allen
« on: Wednesday 13 January 16 00:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I have a marriage certificate for Duncan McLeod and Lucy Allen. I have been unable to find any information about Lucy before her marriage.
I was hoping someone may be able to help.
The information on the certificate is as follows;

Married on 24th September 1904 in the Parish Church of Southend, Essex.
Duncan McLeod 30 Bachelor, Clerk
Address 2 York Gardens
Father Duncan McLeod, Engineer

Lucy Allen 30 Spinster, Nursing Sister
Address 23 Tykis Avenue, Southend
Father John Henry Allen, Boat Owner

I would appreciate any help or advice.


Thanks

Michelle

Hi. Have you found the McLeods in the 1911 census to get Lucy's birthplace?

in 1901 she is now in the Orme household in Lewisham...she is now a NURSE.

So...its looking good that she is the one described as born in 1874  Erith,Kent in the census.....and as b 1874  Kent,,registered Dartford on the birth indexes.

It appears Duncan and Lucy emigrated to the US in 1908 - their first child was born Duncan Allen McLeod in Sept.qtr.1907 Romford.

On 10/6/1934 Lucy McLeod arrived in England from New York - her address in England was to be 9 Park Crescent, Erith, Kent - she returned to the US on 6/9/1934.

Think that kind of knits it altogether, that Lucy Allen is indeed the one born in Erith, Kent, dau. of John Henry Allen (born in Gravesend) and Jane Fanny George married in 1860 and that she was named after her paternal grandmother.

In 1851 John H Allen is living with his widowed mother Lucy plus 3 siblings in Milton next Gravesend.  In 1841 William Allen 40  Sawyer, Lucy 30, Elizabeth 10, William 8, John 4 and Ann 11mos.

John Henry Allen b.6/1/1837, bp.5/2/1837 St. George, Gravesend, Kent, son of William and Lucy (per familysearch).
