It is Allden on Ancestry - transcribed in exactly the same way!

However, it is worth following as there are no births for Jane Allden c 1853 but there are the following which may be Jane Allen?

I have looked on 1871 but can't trace them and have to go out just now.

Perhaps someone could have a look.

I will look back later.

ive ordered a birth certificate for a james allen born 1840 should come saturday but im not holding my breath.

i was praying then that this allden was them but it seems strange that the same spelling mistake would of happened 10 yrs later

this may be a coincidence but both head and wife are named james (obviouse mistake) only when i was searching for a marriage for james allen with an unknown dalton after janeys suggestion, there was one in 1850 but it was james allen and JAMES dalton,

i thought it might! am i right in thinking if janey is right and my james was born by a differant name, then really i dont stand a chance in finding him?

thanks yvonne, need a pick up sometimes, ive been working on this one on and off for nearly 2 yrs, keep giving up and moving on to someone else :0( x

Even if he was born by a different name, don't despair. There can be clues and other things to be looked at. I'm sure I've mentioned, my gr-grfather was nowhere to be found before his 1883 marriage (when he was already over 30). It took months, but I did find him under the name he was born with, which was totally different.

I still have a couple of tabs open of things I was looking at re your James, just haven't got back to 'em yet. The eye surgery yesterday will keep me away for another day or two, but I will try to take another kick at him. I specialize in digging away at finding the people who tried hardest not to be found. ;) My gr-grfather was a graduate-level course in that discipline!

just an update, i sent for the birth certificate for james patrick allen 1840 surrey and it wasn't correct, his father was not james. so back to square one.

As promised, have poked some more, to no avail.

Have you gone through every James Allen in Surrey in 1841 born say 1811-1826, looking at the images to try to find one who was a blacksmith?

Ditto for 1851?

It's what I'd do if this were mine; since it isn't, I'd leave it to you. ;)

Of course the possibility is that James the father, if he existed, would have died before 1851, and if the later DOB for James the son from a census were accurate (1846 was it?), James the father could still have been an adolescent in 1841 ...

thats what im doing now for the 3rd time in case ive missed one hehe x
