Trying to find Allen

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I have a George Allen, born in June 1900 who emigrated to Canada in 1900 with his parents (i.e. as a baby). We know nothing about his parents (no names), except that they were born in or around the Worcester area. So to try and find his father (which will then lead to finding his mother), I'm looking at all the male Allens born in or near Worcester who would have been an appropriate age in 1900 to have a child and emigrate. (I figured 16 yo minimum and 60 yo maximum) Which gives me a birth year between 1840 and 1884. But realistically I think I'm looking for somebody between 20ish and 40ish (1860 to 1880). Does anybody have any Allens who meet this criteria? Born between 1840 - 1884 (though probably 1860 - 1880) Born in or near Worcester Emigrated to Canada in 1900 Whilst we known his parents were both born in Worcester, there is a little confusion over where he was born. In the 1940 national registration in Canada, he has entered that he was born in England (town unknown, may be Worcester, may not). But in his obituary in 1962 his wife has put that he was born in South Wales. Thanks, Dave
