Richard Allen of Poole married Elizabeth Nickeless (Nickleson) in 1749 in Winterborne Zelston. I am hoping to trace Richard Allen's parents. Can anyone help?

Hi Selina Agnes,

Welcome to Rootschat.

Have you looked for information on the Dorset OPC site?

Thanks for your reply Nanny Jan. Yes I have - no further forward from that I'm afraid.

This probably won't help you go further back, but presumably you have seen:

Richard Allen's will:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?queryType=1&resultcount=1&Edoc_Id=437631
(There are also contemporary wills for Mary (widow) and Elizabeth (sister?) which may help)

A lease mentioning George Nickelson Allen of Poole:

Thank you for your reply Richard.

I have a copy of the Will but unfortunately it isn't our Richard Allen. I had also come across the Richard and George Allen v Moses Palmer papers but I hadn't seen the lease mentioning George Nickleson Allen so thank you for that.
