London and Middlesex / Re: Charles & Theodosia Allen 1837-1871 ???
« on: Friday 30 December 11 19:46 GMT (UK) »
The transcription for Theodosia is wrong. Her surname was Osborne and her address at the time was 47 Edgware Road. Whilst Charles was living in Enfield. As Theodosia came from Sible Hedingham, Essex it is always possible Charles came from further afield also. You are correct about the number of Allen's in Marylebone who may or maynot be related to Charles.
Its very unusual not to have any "possibles" on the census. It normally means the people have died or emmigrated. But the fact Theodosia suddenley appears years later makes me think that they are "hidden" in the census somewhere.
I have found out that 47 Edgware Road is now a Deli. and so perhaps was always a shop where Charles ran his Shoemakers from. Can't find any trade directories old enough to help. Also from what I am discovering the Edgware road was still pretty much in the countryside in 1837. I am not local so at a disadvantage trying to piece together all the clues.
