Thanks again, David.  All that is registered is the crest - no coat of arms. My aim here is to try and clarify how my family came to possess items incorporating the crest - I'm fairly sure  I  have worked it out,  but descendants of these Allens may be able to help.

Grateful thanks, Martin.
I wasn't aware of the biography - it looks like a great resource.
Interestingly my information shows John James Allen with only one son, so I will have to follow that up.
