Travelling People / Re: Help!!! Can't find my ALLENS
« on: Tuesday 30 July 13 10:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi Cathy

Thank you for the info.

I perhaps should have said that I have found a lot more info for my Allens since I first posted here.

Ivy Allen was in fact Evelyn May b 1903. Married Harry Cockell Stroud 1920, died aged 26 1930 Stroud.
I have them in the 1911 census. With William now added to the list there's just one more to find.

Kind regards
Georgiana

Hello Stroudie

My Allens married into gypsy families hence my post on here. Stevens and Loveridge gypsy families mainly.

We did have a war memorial card for George Edward Allen but unfortunately this was lost in a house fire.
William Allen would fit but so far I haven't been able to find any other information about him.

Kind regards
Georgiana

Travelling People / Help!!! Can't find my ALLENS
« on: Monday 26 February 07 15:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everyone :) 

I'm new to Roots and wondered whether anyone could help with my elusive Allens.

Henry ALLEN b 1867 Avening, Glos (have cert) partner Mazillia LOVERIDGE b 1865 Horsley, Glos (info LDS). No marriage found.

Children

Herbert Ernest ALLEN            b  1889 Rodborough, Glos  (have cert)
Andrew J          ALLEN            c  1890 Staines, Middlesex
George E          ALLEN            c 1899 Rodborough, Glos. Died 1918 (family memorial card)
Ivy                    ALLEN            c  1900

1891 census. Rockness Hill. Horsley, Stroud. In a shed.

Henry ALLEN                 24  Road labourer           Nailsworth Glos
Mazella                         25                                   Shiptons Lane
Herbert E                        2                                   Kings Court, Rodborough, Glos
Andrew J                         8 months                      Middlesex, Nr Staines


There must have been other children I would have thought given the age gap between Andrew and George.
I have been unable to find them in 1901. I have searched with every different spelling I can think of.

CWWG information for death 1918 of George Edward Allen gives His parents as Henry and Ellen ALLEN of 9 Alfred St Reading.

About a year ago I decided to concentrate on Ivy Allen as I had made contact with another researcher who had given me new information.

Ivy ALLEN  (b) c 1900  married  Harry John Cockle 02/10/1920 Rodborough,Stroud.
Ivy Cockell (her grandson insists) died 1934  Stroud, Gloucester .

I had already trawled 1920-1940 on Ancestry as I remembered my Mum saying that her aunt had died in Stroud and she had died quite young. I couldn’t find her. Armed with new info I thought I must have missed her and searched again five years either side just to make sure. Still couldn’t find her so I e-mailed Gloucestershire Archives giving them every scrap of information. They couldn't find her either but they did give me two other names: Ivy's husbands father and brother, they tie in with the address I had given them.

Any help or suggestions on where to go next gratefully recieved.
Jan
