The person im trying to trace is james allen born c1846 born i believe in st george, southwark. he married elizabeth sarah rumble around 1864 and they had 11 children. james was an upholsterer. i havent been able to find a link, but his last son was named leonard, and he also named his son leonard?? ive noticed that the first 5 children where named after elizabeths side of the family, as i already have her parents james rumble and sarah? and there children born lambeth surrey. i know Allen is a realy hard name to do, but im hoping somebody out there can work miracles
yours gratefully kim
