The problem is, there are three people with this name registered during the
time scale in the Basford district. Do you know if William had a middle name ?
Birth, Jun qtr 1870
William Allen
Basford, Vol 7b, page 93
Birth, Dec qtr 1870
William Edwin Allen
Basford, Vol 7b, page 140
Birth, Jun qtr 1871
William Lacey Allen
Basford, Vol 7b, page 156

Hi again,
In 1871 there's a family living in Bulwell, which is in the Basford registration distrct. William, age 2 with parents Joseph and Eliza. There is an initial for William which I can't read. Do you have access to the census returns, or would you like the details ? :)
Pels.

Hello everyone.... :)
I have just had a look for William and looking at the census I see in 1901 - RG13/ 3144/ 156/ 14.- on that William says he was born in Leicestershire.
On the 1911 William says he was born in Skeffington, Leicestershire.
If this is the case the more likely birth registration would be this one;
Births DecQ 1869
Allen William - Billesdon 7a 28
But the only William I can see born Skeffington has a father John..... ::)
Can anyone else spot him?
Kind regards
Sheila

1881 census he is with Father Joseph, Labourer, born c 1835, James Daking, Lincs in Notts.
Back soon with Census.
(making a cup of tea!)

Now not so sure as what you have posted Sheila has him born Leics 1901/1911.
will post possible anyhow;
1881 Census
Babworth, Nottinghamshire
RGB11/3303/7/10
Joseph ALLEN, 46, Head, Mar, Labourer, born James Daking, Lincolnshire
Eliza, 37, Wife, Mar, born Santry, Huntingdonshire
Kate, 18, Daug, Unm, General Servant, born Spalding, Lincs
Elizabeth, 14, Daug, Unm, Scholar, born London, Middlesex
WILLIAM, 12, Son, Scholar, born Welham, Nottinghamshire
Agnes, 8, Daug, Scholar, born Gamston, Nottinghamshire

Hi Trish....
It is a bit of a puzzle.... would be grateful if someone could confirm my 1901 and 1911 findings......but I don't think I have made a whopper.
It would also explain why we can't pin a birth registration for him in Basford reg or Nottinghamshire?
Plus it seems the Allen family only appeared in Skeffington after 1861......except that father is John....although his son William had a brother Joseph.
Lots more picking apart to do to get to the bottom of it... :D
Sheila.

Hi Sheila,
Yes in 1901 you are correct, born c 1870, Leics.
Re the one I found;
1891 that one seems to be born 1871 Oakham, Rutland in living in Greasley, Notts.
Place of Birth is dittoed from person above so may be incorrect.
1871 seems to be George W Allen (indexed as Wallen) born c 1870, Wellam, Notts, living in Gamston, Notts with Joseph/Eliza
RG10/3454/83/3
RG12/2661/5/3
What do you think Sheila.?
Family seemed to move around a lot.
-
As for me ::) I'm so pleased I was called away before I typed out all that for nothing ! I know the trees on Ancestry quite often count for nothing, but I've just had a quick peek and someone on there appears to agree with your findings Sheila and Trish !! Good one, hopefully 'lady penelope' should be chuffed with this !! :) :)

Hi Pels.....
I did have a quick look on Ancestry trees but the one I looked at also had the father as Joseph....it seems they haven't any other details? and like you say the trees aren't always accurate.
Sheila.

Hi Sheila,

It was with regards to this one Sheila - Trish followed on from your reply :)

hi everybody,
thankyou for all the info. it's very helpful to my search for the elusive william. could you please send the details as i have no access to the census returns as yet
many thanks to all
lady penelope
-
Oooh I had just typed this up before I realised you had posted.......hope it is ok?
It seems to me that none of us are sure which William it could be when trying to trace him going backwards.
With his father's name given as Joseph you would think that would help but the ones on offer so far I am not so sure about.
Still a lot of questions.... I wonder if Joseph was his father's name....maybe that's only what he thought it was? surprising if he didn't but I have heard that sort of thing has happened.
What were the witnesses on the marriage entry for William & Alice....would that give any other clues?
Until anyone can up with anything else I think he belongs to the Skeffington, Leicestershire Allen family.
1861 - No Allen's in Skeffington
1871 - RG10/3228/16/page9 - Skeffington, Leicestershire
Parents - John & Mary Anne Allen
Children all born Skeffington =
James 8, Emma 6, Charles 4, Thomas 3 and WILLIAM aged 1
1881 - RG11/3123/67/page 8 - Tilton, Leicstershire.
John Allen, head, aged 51, Shepherd, born Mowsley, Leicestershire.
James 19, Emma 16, Thomas 13, WILLIAM 11, Joseph 9,George 7,Alfred 5 - all these born Skeffington
Mary Ann Allen aged 3, daughter - born Tilton Wood, Leicestershire.
Other things I have found for the Skeffington Allen family are;
Burial at Skeffington
Joseph Allen - 13th January 1871 - aged 11 years
Burials at Tilton on the Hill
Mary Anne Allen - 15th April 1879 - aged 43
John Allen - 8th May 1884 - aged 54
It seems when the parents died the family dispersed in various places, in 1891 George is still in Leicestershire, Joseph is in Plumtree, Nottinghamshire.
1901 - Thomas is in Connisborough, Alfred is in Ilkeston, Derbyshire and James is in Cottesbrooke, Northamptonshire.
If only this family had Joseph as the father I would be convinced it was the correct family........ :'(

Oh heck, I thought Trish had the right family - the father's name was Joseph.
Hi Sheila,
Yes in 1901 you are correct, born c 1870, Leics.
Re the one I found;

As Trish has already said :

Place of Birth is dittoed from person above so may be incorrect.
married alice knighton in the year 6-6-1892 at brinsley on marriage cert his father name joseph allen labourer.
I don't think this one can be in question because he married in Brinsley.

Hi all.....lady penelope
You are welcome to the help and I would be interested what else you discover.
Just out of interest......... have you a copy or actually seen William Allen and Alice Knighton's marriage certificate?
-
Last one :
1901 census:
RG13/3144, Folio 156, Page 14
Nottinghamshire, Eastwood
Mansfield Road
William Allen, h. mar, 31, b. Leicester
Alice, wife 30, b. Notts, Brinsley
Elizabeth, dau 6
Alice Amelia, dau, 4
Both children born in Brinsley.
I'm afraid I can't make out William's occupation - something on farm, possibly Cattleman.

The 1891 census with William Allen is the likely one as he is in the village of Brinsley..... the confusion is because his place of birth is dittoed as Oakham, Rutland from the entry above - as Trish pointed out.
Baptisms at Eastwood - parents William & Alice Allen
LILY ALLEN - 18th March 1893 - fathers occupation = Ostler (notes - Private) - abode Eastwood
ELIZABETH ALLEN - 24th June 1894 - fathers occupation = Coal Miner - abode Eastwood
ALICE AMELIA ALLEN - 29th November 1896 - fathers occupation = Coal Miner - abode Eastwood
Burial at Eastwood
LILY ALLEN - 29th April 1893 - aged 5 months
