Charlie, Ann Elizabeth (nee Tissington) Lilly (m Sharp) Charles Allen. Any descendants, probably Lincoln area please contact. My mother Eliza was sister of Ann Elizabeth.

Just so we have some idea of dates and places:
Marriages Mar 1909
ALLEN Charles Barnsley 9c 271
TISSINGTON Ann Elizabeth Barnsley 9c 271

Barnsley or Lincoln wanted for children?
Births Sep 1911
ALLEN George W Tissington Wortley 9c 681
Births Dec 1912
Allen Constance A Tissington Lincoln 7a 867
Births Dec 1915
ALLEN Herbert Tissington Barnsley 9c 495
Births Mar 1918
Allen Mary Tissington Barnsley 9c _25
Births Sep 1919
Allen Charles Tissington Barnsley 9c 397

Have you searched on genes for common ancestors, as unlikely anyone related will see your message here?

Patricia
Thankyou for the marriage and births details. I assume some of the children died young because I only knew George (Willy?), Lilly and Charles. Lilly and Charles lived in Lincoln and George Willy in Gosport.
As regards ancestors I have Tissingtons in my family tree; I am only trying to contact descendants of Lilly and Charles Allen. Leslie and Margaret were children of Frank and Lilly Sharp (nee Allen)

Probably my dimness but I did not understand (Tissington) after Allen children's birth names.
Regards

Joseph,
I looked for a marriage of Ann Elizabeth Tissington with Charles Allen - date 1909.
I then looked for children born surname Allen with mother's name Tissington, which starts being recorded around 1911 (So I could have missed some out born between marriage and 1911). Otherwise there are lots of possible children. If a Smith marries a Jones you would still have lots of births, so you just hope for less common names.
Hope that makes sense.
