COMPLETED - Jacob Dixon Allen- Jarrow or South Shields

[DaveM888]

I am struggling to trace parentage of a Jacob Dixon Allen born circa 1818. He shows in 1851 census stating place of Birth Jarrow, in 1861 census he states place of birth South Shields. He  does not show up on IGI, although I think Jarrow is not on IGI.
He was inirtially married to a Jane (Greaves or Wood) in 1837.
He shows in 1841 census as a 23 year old with wife Jane and children Henry and John.
He has a distinctive name, I have tried searching for an Allen marrying a Dixon to bo avail.
I have looked at Bishops Transcripts for Jarrow for years 1817/1818 to no avail.
Any ideas?
My other experience of thsi family name was that it was interchangeable Allan/Allen

The library service access to A...y does not give access to the trees, can anyone tell me the date of birth for Jacob Dixon Allen born Jarrow, based on census informatioon this is likely to be 1817/8. I have found the marriage for his parents 7th March 1816 St Pauls, Jarrow. I have found two possible siblings for him Margaret and Joannah

Lots of children to couple name John and Mary.  Many with second names, all different

Thanks
I have followed through on the probable parents of John Allen and Margaret Hedley and found their marriage at St Pauls, Jarrow, Durham, England in 1816. Also two possible siblings baptised Jarrow 1828/1830 to a John and Margaret, but no sign of Jacob Dixon Allen, I believe in the 1818 date as his first marriage is 1837.

I am just telling you that there is a person by the name Jacob Dixon Allen baptised in South Shields.  I have no idea if he is one minute old or a hundred years.  However a distinctive name and may be connected to the family you are looking at.
