    Allen Charles

    My concern is that the other records for the family use Smart. All the sons are glass cutters! Searching is also difficult there are so many Allens!! Not all records are available online @ familysearch. Also some border staffs such as handsworth not too far from the city. I don't have access to...

    no parents staying for a sleepover then! This is going to be tricky. James b1796 would have been 20 yrs old if he married mary Hands in 1816. Ok sorry for dealy. I have just checked on Mary Elizabeth Allen 1823 her father was definitely James Smart Allen. I reckon we've cracked it!!!
