Brampton Birth/Marriage Records - ALLEN

[VMS]

I am currently researching the Allen family tree in Brampton and have got back as far as the late 1700s.

Rachael Allen, born abt 1778, had two children - Thomas, born abt 1806 and Charlotte born abt 1817

I am unable to find a husband for Rachael / father for her children - can anyone please help me with a record of their birth, or possibly a marriage for Rachael if one occurred???

I believe Allen may be an unmarried name for Rachael, as I found a Christian Bird with her on the 1841 census, and a list of Marriage Allegations brought up a 1777 marriage between a Christian Hanger (born abt 1761) and Thomas Allen, then a 1808 marriage between a Christian Allen and a Benjamin Bird.

Any further information about any of the above marriages and/or births would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance
