Whilst researching Allen family I came across a number of puzzles:-
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... #moreinfo_

If one looks at Census details James Allen is missing in 1841 and 1861 and marries a Mary R. ( no record found) and appears

on 1871 Census with her and children.

in 1881 children are with Stepfather Benjamin Johnson and mother has reverted to Rebecca christian name

1881 Census 80 Gosty Hill Rowley Regis Dudley Staffs.
Benjamin Johnson Head 37 Lab.in Brickyard
Rebecca Johnson wife 43 born Halesowen Worcs.
Christian J. Allen step son 17 Nail Maker
Lavinia Allen step dau 11 Scholar
Louis Allen step dau ( * actually step son and is male on 1871 Census) 11 Scholar
Dorcas Allen step dau 9
Sara Johnson dau 0
Rest born Rowley Regis Staffs.

Mary R. Allen married Benjamin Johnson in St. Giles RR 1880

In 1891 Census Rebecca reverts to Mary R. again Louis who is male is shown as stepdaughter ( on 1911 Census is definitely male)

Who is Mary R. or Rebecca before marriage to James Allen

Where was James in missing Census 1841 and 1861( possibly in Jail in 1861)

Grandaughter Roseila Parkes on 1871 Census is a puzzle as on birth record is shown as Rose L.
but on marriage record to Henry Hiscocks in St.John Halesowen 1887 she is shown as RoseZillah or Rosezilla Parkes
In 1891 They are Living with Willam And Ann Allen and she is noted as grand dau Rose Zillah Hiscocks
In 1911 she is Rose Zillah Hiscocks (wid)

From this info Rose Zillah must be daughter of one of William And Ann's daughters.
but I cannot find a daughter marrying a Parkes. Eliza Allen born 1844,Rebecca born 1847,Ann born 1851 and Dorcas born 1853 are candidates

West Midlands Marriage 1857.
ALLEN James, TROMANS Mary R. Oldswinford, St Mary Dudley Register Office. 003/006/76.

Felix Troman 17.
William Troman 15.
Rebecca Troman 13.
Ann Tromans 9.
Jason Troman 5.

Possible for James.

EVANS George. Dudley. 6c. 118.

Peterd - I've lost track on this one - what are you trying to prove? Can you summarize where you are?
