Hi Everyone,

I am desparately trying to find my great great grandfather George Allen. I have located him on the 1901 census with his wide Elizabeth Ferrer, but unfortunately his age has been obscured so I cannot trace his birth records.

I know he was born in Northampton and that he lived at 10 The Riding, Northampton at the time of my great grandmother's birth - Evelyn May Allen b. 1890.

If this rings any bells with you or you would like some further information then please get in touch.

Thank you very much,

Vicki

Found this in the 1891 census. There were no other Evelyn M born in Northants so I believe these are mostlikely your Allens.

All the best Fran

Beg your pardon but this one I think is your George as the address is the same as in the 1901 census.

Sorry Fran

Edward Munds is the nephew. It may be that George's wife's maiden name could be Munds
