Default Harriet Booth Allen 1871

George Allen, b 1823 Lichfield Staffs, married Harriet Booth in 1847 in Wolverhampton district. (Harriet b abt 1826 Wednesbury, Staffs)


In 1851 they are in Hull, Yorks with a dau Mary.

In 1861 Harriet says she is married but George isn't with her. She has a second daughter, Harriet b Hull, who was registered as Harriet Booth Allen in 1853.

Harriet Booth Allen married Charles Conyers Massy Baker in Bayswater in 1880. On the marriage cert her father is George Allen (occ esquire!).

Can anyone see Harriet (and/or her parent(s)) in 1871?

I've found George in Ockley, Surrey in 1861 (when both Harriet's are in Hull) and agan in 1881 when he is a widower.

George's probate says he was of Oakdale Ockley, but was formerly of 23 Colville Road, Kensington.

The 1873 Return of Owners of Land has George Allen owning 130 acres of land and gives his address as Ockley:

Thanks Kate.

Until I found George in Ockley I had assumed he had died between 1861 and 1871. I suppose it's less important to find the 1871 census now.

Perhaps George and his daughter were out of the country in 1871?

Perhaps it's missing (answering Kate!)?

The Colville Rd address is where Harriet lived:

27 July 1881 - London Standard

23. Colville-road. Bayswater, the wife of Charles Conyers Massy Baker, Esq., barrister-at-law, of a son

There were at Colville Road in 1881. He is recorded as a barrister who was born in Ireland.

Perhaps they were in Ireland in 1871?

Maybe. If George was looking for a husband for Harriet then he was in the wrong country as Charles was in England in 1861 and 1871!! lol

It's hard to take in that a first cousin of my working class g-grandmother was married to someone who appears in The Peerage.com (even if I can't work out why he is in there!)
