Hi,

freebmd has a marriage entry for Henry Bensley Allen in the March 1/4 1852 West Ham, the only Elizabeth on the page has the surname Camp.

The IGI has a birth of Elizabeth Camp 12th August 1820, Therfield, Hertfordshire, parents James & Mary Camp

happy hunting

Many thanks Bee.
I have added alittle more to my tree!

If you get Henry's marriage certificate it will give you the fathers names of the bride and groom.  If you know the name of Henry's father you might be able to trace him & his wife on the 1851 census

good luck

Thanks again Bee.
I have found him on the 1851 census, but rather frustratingly he is a lodger at 110, Mile  Road, Crayford. So that exhausts census info.
Are you aware of any on-line sites where I might be able to look at Wydonham, Norfolk births? I have his birth date as app. 1820.

Hi Roger,

You can always trythe Norfolk transcription archive at http://genealogy.doun.org/transcriptions/index.php

it's a free search site and worth bookmarking even if you're unlucky this time.

Thanks Bee. I've searched it and no joy, but I have bookmarked it for future use.

Hello there!
Henry Bensley Allen was the brother of my Gt gt gt grandmother, Frances Allen and was one of the witnesses at her wedding.  They were actually from Hindringham in Norfolk, Wyndonham is a mis-reading by the transcriber (it stumped us for a while too!).  They were the children of Thomas Allen and Elizabeth nee Bensley who were married 29.12.1814 in Great Fransham, Norfolk.  Thomas' parents were John Allen from Hindringham, and Frances Carrington from Walsingham.  Elizabeth's parents were Henry Bensley & Mary Fisher (this may be Riches as both families were in the area at the time, but it looks more like Fisher).  Elizabeth also had a twin brother, Henry.
You can trace the Carringtons back on the IGI as well as Frances Carringtons Mother Ann's family, Shorting, which goes back to c1595! (although I would like to verify the records myself in case of mistakes!).
If you would like more information about Henry Bensley Allen & his brothers & sisters let me know.

Many thanks for your reply doodles.
I am thrilled with the extra info you have.
Firstly correcting the place name!
You have Thomas Allen and Elizabeth Bensley being married in Great Fransham on 29-12-1814. However another member of RootsChat (pigginnut) has earlier given me a marriage date of 13-12-1813 also in Great Fransham. Any ideas?
I would love the information you have about Henry Bensley Allen and his brothers and sisters please. Also do you have any birth dates/occupation etc for Thomas Allen and Elizabeth Bensley please?
