Hi Mum44
Thank you so much for this. I had trouble finding them  - the Allwood bit would have stumped me!If you can get Annies parents etc that would be good. I have a very old photo of her - my mum told me years ago that she lived in Boyn Hill.

A hint -  when you can't find a family on a census using "correct" details, leave off one bit of information - usually its the surname that's mis-transcribed - so put in

William   born 1864  Buckingham  Lacy Green

Then read down til you come to one which fits - ie: wife Ann

or
Alfred  born 1886  Berkshire

Read down til you come to one that sound right - eg: parents William and Ann

Various variations on the above - and you can usually - although not always - find them   

In this case - not too bad, because it will deliver the results alphbetically by surname and this was A
