parents of Jenetta ALLEN

[brigidmac]

Jenetta ALLEN was born 10.may 1807 higham York

Baptised 26 jul 1807 Darton all saints Yorkshire

Only information is father Anthony ALLEN

I can't find him anywhere else
+ I can't find her mother's name  Jenetta ALLEN married william.Harrison in Darton 30 jul 1827
A coal miner

Can't find them in 1841

Daughters Ann B 1828
Maria born 1833
Son job 1856
Baptised at Darton all saints

In 1851 they are with children Ann Charles Marie George Jane Emma jennet & Robert

But William is named as George age

45

There is another george Harrison age 45 coal miner lodging with them.

Jennetta is a widow with 7 children in 1861 shopkeeper + in 1862 to Martyn SHIERS. So I presume William HARRISON died between 1856 and 1861

Can you help me find any evidence of her parents

There is a possible sister Martha

Baptisms for two Martha Allen's? 1803 and 1805 (father is Anthony Allen, miner).

[Comberton]

Is this the family in 1841?

Maybe a bit too old, but there's an 1836 burial in Darton for an Anthony Allen (born 1753).
His abode is notated as Higham on the burial register. Marital status is "unknown".

1753 baptism in Sheffield for an Anthony Allen. Father is Joshua (tinman).

[QueenoftheWest]

There is a marriage between an Anthony Allen, coal miner, and Jane Lill[..] (transcription has Lilley) on 27th January 1803 in Barnsley. Could be a possible to keep in mind.

Thank you

That's the correct family in 1841
I think.george Harrison must be Williams brother

Martha married BUCKLEY and her niece Jane Harrison is on census with her in 1861

But I can't explain why there are 2 baptisms for Martha Allen with father Anthony ALLEN who doesn't appear elsewhere
