Hi Dave
The first clue was on the marriage certficate of Jacob Dixon Allen and Jane Wood in 1837. The marriage was witnessed by Heugh Percy Allen and Alice Allen (nee Robson they married 13/7/1836).
I started to research Heugh Percy Allen and located him in the 1851 and 1861 census. Then located his baptism where his parents were John and Mary Allen. I believe Heugh Percy Allen is an older brother of Jacob Dixon Allen.
Then on family search I located more children of John and Mary baptised:
Jane Allen 1800
John Allen Allen 1802
William Aljernon Allen 1805
Charles Adolphus Allen 1808
Henry Augustus Allen 1810
Mary Ann Allen 1817(twin of Heugh)
Heugh Percy Allen 1817 (lists father John as being from Warkworth Northumberland)
Jacob Dixon Allen 1818
The second clue is that Jacob Dixon Allen and Jane Woods first son is Henry Augustus Allen, the same name as his brother. They continue to use Jacobs the siblings names again for thbeir children.
