I have traced my grandfather's line from Danesmoor near Chesterfield back through to Hickling in Nottinghamshire and to a William Allen born in Edmondthorpe, Leicestershire in or around 1737. My research indicates that he married Elizabeth Hidson in 1758 and that they had five children, one of which is my ancestor. I have, however, been unable to trace the lineage back any further. Does anyone have any further information regarding either William or Elizabeth?
