Title: William Allen - Marriage 1859
Post by: origins on Friday 31 March 17 14:21 BST (UK)
Wonder if somebody would be able to  look up a  marriage for me, would be most helpful.  I have William Allen and Ann Bell 7th August 1859, All Saints Newcastle Upon Tyne.  Any information with that marriage would be appreciated.

Hmm,

You say this isn't the one your after from Carole...

"William Allen
Spouse's Name    Ann Bell
Event Date    07 Aug 1859
Event Place    All Saints, Newcastle Upon Tyne"

Seems to be a very big coincidence if not the same couple?

What reason do you know they are not the same couple, have to say I'm curious with such exact details being different couples  :-\

The William Allen I am looking for is the son of Peter  Allen. No idea who his wife Ann is. They were travelers, so was looking also to an appropriate occupation. Both saying they were born in Newburn Northumberland. But whether that is correct who knows with travelers.

1871 Census;
Maria Allen is born c 1871 Darlington, Durham.
Margaret Allen c 1863 Harrogate, Yorkshire
Ann Allen c 1866 Sunderland, Durham

Recently the GRO has indexed Births/Deaths.
Its a new Site, you have to register but its free to search.

If that is your Family I have posted I have looked these up for you;


ALLEN, MARIA, Mothers mn   WATSON****
GRO Reference: 1871  J Quarter in DARLINGTON UNION  Volume 10A  Page 1

ALLAN, MARGARET Mothers mn    WATSON ****
GRO Reference: 1863  M Quarter in KNARESBROUGH  Volume 09A  Page 99

ALLEN, ANN, Mothers mn WATSON *****
GRO Reference: 1865  D Quarter in HARTLEPOOL  Volume 10A  Page 163

Strangely there is a Ann Bell Watson Marriage 1860 on FreeBMD but a William Allen/Allan is not on the same page!

Wow Trish thank you so much, that is definitely the family in those census.  Tonight I found the baptism of William Allen in 1840 All Saints Newcastle. Don't know why it didn't come up before. He was the son of Peter and Margaret. Also found his sister Margaret baptized same place in 1843.

Thank you for the baptisms of some of the children, the name Watson makes a lot of sense, I have other Watsons that were travelers. In the 1841 census I found Peter Allen  with son William and an Ann Watson. Can't get that census to come up again. Will have another go. But I think Ann Watson is the wife of William Allen.  Thank you I will note all you have written. Absolutely brilliant.

Val  ;D ;D

The Baptisms I posted are not yours then if William was Bapt 1840.
I am having trouble finding them 1841/1851 Census.

First child of William and Ann registered in Knaresborough (Margaret) and this appears to be where the couple married too:

William Allan
Ann Watson

June quarter 1861 Knaresborough - Vol. 9a, Page 129 (2 of the 4 people sharing that page reference)

To confirm (copy of marriage certificate on FindMyPast):

William Allan 20, son of Peter,  and Ann Watson 18, dau. of James (residence for both shown as Darley) married 22/4/1861 Hampsthwaite, Yorkshire.

I see from the Baptism of Wiliam on FreeREG his Father Peter is a Tinman.

Have a look at this 1851 Census in Lancashire;
Lodgers;
Peter Allen, 48 (1803), Tin Plate Worker (journeyman) born Cumberland
William Allen, 12, born Cumberland
Further down page Anne Allen age 15, pob not known   

I'm finding it really had to find William/1841/1851/1861.

Thank you Annette and Trish.  Been out all day and just come in and have seen your posts.  I have William now in all except the 1841 which I will try, however you have both given me a wealth of information  to continue with.  Will add it all to my Tree now.  Thanks again.
