	It's possible that his birth wasn't registered as it was quite soon after the start of registration in 1837 and wasn't compulsory until 1875. Kath. x

	The BVRI has a christening of Mark Allen or Aylin, 23 Nov. 1837, Dullingham, Cambridgeshire. Mother Eliza Allen or Aylin. Seems like your guy but a year out. Margaret
	Researching: Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
