Title: Levi Allen a Steel Roller from Bilston
Post by: jibhauler14 on Monday 27 November 23 17:41 GMT (UK)
I have a wife of Levi Allen as Caroline Allen but cannot find a wedding to confirm her surname:
Levi was born in Sedgley according to the census in 1861 he is a single man working as a steel roller living in Falkland St Wolverhampton, in 1871 he is still living in Falkland St Wolverhampton but is now married to Caroline he is now from Bilston and an iron Roller but I am struggling to find wedding details, other information suggests he was born in Bradeley near Bilston his father is Thomas Allen and his Mom Ann Naylor.
Any help appreciated

In 1871, Caroline’s place of birth is Wheaton Aston.

In 1891 2232/140
There is a Caroline ‘Smull’ should be Insull with husband John. She is born Wheaton Aston.

There is a marriage, June 1883, Wolverhampton where John Insull and Caroline Brotherton Allen are on the same page.
Perhaps you could check that.

Thanks for that have also checked Brewood and Albrighton for marriages but no luck, he was baptised as Levi and on several census as Levi as I had thought he might have changed his name, will check out the Insull connection but according to the census he was married by 1971... will keep digging many thanks..

The marriage for Caroline was 1883.
Where was Levi in 1881 or was he deceased?

Did he die in 1881?
There is a Levi and Caroline in 1881 but she has Brewood as her birthplace.

Caroline died 1908 but in 1901 her birthplace is shown as Newport Shropshire (Salop)

The only way of finding her origins is the 1883 marriage cert
