Hertfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Bushey Marriages ALLEN
« on: Saturday 21 July 12 06:08 BST (UK)  »
Many thanks Ray.

My thoughts are that the parish registers may have been written up wrong or as I previously mentined transcribed wrong. The part I dont understand is that the 2 problem marriages are on different pages on the BMD. I believe that Allen married King and Hayes married Coomes. I have looked at some family trees that have Coomes in them and most of those seem to be quesswork.

Any thoughts.

As I mentioned I am in the wilds of Somerset and a trip to Hertford is not possible in the next few months. I am originally from Watford and descended from the Allens through my grandmother Jessie Edith Allen b 22/6/1893

Many thanks for the 2 postings in response to me message.

The problem is that when looking at marriages on Ancestry there are 2 on 25/12/1877
1) Joseph ALLEN aged 19 son of James married Mary Ann COOMES aged 24 dau of Henry

2) John Hayes aged 29 son of John married Emma KING aged 20 dau of Henry

These 2 marriages do not tie up with the 1881 Census or the birth of Joseph Allen baptised 28/9/1879 where his parents were Joseph ALLEN & Emma KING

I suspect a transcription error on Ancestry and would appreciate it if there is someone who can look at the parish registers to see what was originally recorded. Unfortunately I do not live near Hertford.
