Hi Matt,
Sorry to be a killjoy but the transcription, that I have, records the baptism of Farley Allen, at Pluckley, as follows
1747 Dec 6 Farly ALLEN d/o Elizabeth a baseborn child
Not sure where this will take you.

Hiya Tony
Now that's interesting and explains why I was getting nowhere with the Allen line. Interestingly my info on Farley Allen simply gives the date of christening (6 December 1747 at Pluckley) and her mother's name - Elizabeth. This comes from Familysearch which doesn't indicate if Farley was baseborn at all.
The odd thing is that there is another child born in 1742 and this time the father is named as Thomas. This reads:
William Allen
Christening: 5 July 1742 Pluckley, Kent
Father: Thomas
Mother: Farley
As mentioned before there are two other Allen girls christened before this: Elizabeth (christened December 1739) and Sarah (christened August 1741)
Obviously there is a five year gaps between William Allen's birth and that of Farley and I wonder if perhaps Thomas died whilst Elizabeth was pregnant, or if she had the child by someone else!
Is there anyway of finding out who Farley Allen's father was? It is an unusual first name.
Do you have any idea when Elizabeth was born or know anything else about her?
Thanks again for all the help and suggestions.
Matt
