Thomas Allen - 17 North Street Langley Mill
posted on: 1/18/2006 4:01:27 PM

I'm researching my fathers side of the family. So far I have only got as far back as my G-Grandfather Thomas Allen from a copy of my Grandfathers birth certificate. It says that in 1911 they lived at 17 North Street Langley Mill. My Grandfather was one of 6 children. Their names were, William, John, George, Charles, Miriam & Roy. Their mother's name wasEdith Annie Allen, formerly Williamson.
Unfortunately, the 1901 census shows that they did not live at that address then.
If anyone has any information as regards the Allen's at that address, I would be greatful.
Thank you.

Thanks Jenny, it certainly could be. You have written 31,17,98 North Street, what does that refer to, sure not all 3 addresses?

My Grandfather was born John Allen 22nd December 1911 and was the second eldest of 6. In 1911, the Edith A that you wrote of would have been 21 years old. 5 children at 21 years old? maybe not.

Thanks though. BTW, where did you get the 1891 census info from?
Thanks

The column headings are:
Surname. Forename. Age. Place. Ref. No. Folio. Page. Schedule.
from the Derbyshire name index for the 1891 census.

You say above that she would have had 5 children by age 21.

Then you say your grandfather was second eldest born in 1811.

Surely at 21 she would only have her second child? That seems quite possible.

There is an Edith Annie Williamson living in Buxton on the 1901 census. She was born in 1889.

Your grandfather was born 1911 and was the 2nd child-so Edith would only have 2 children at the age of 20-not at all unusual

Yes, your'e quite right, it is possible as he would have been the second child at that time in 1911.

Thanks very much for the information.

If you send for the marriage certificate of THOMAS ALLEN and EDITH ANNIE WILLIAMSON it will give you the name of THOMAS 'S father (and EDITHS too)
It seems very likely that Edith's parents were WILLIAM WILLIAMSON and AMY
1881 shows them living at North St with 1 year old daughter CHARLOTTE (birth place is given as Bassingham Derby-sometimes on census the birth place differs or is mistranscribed)
1891 shows them still at North St
1901 shows the family (except Charlotte) (all born Langley Mill) living at Eastwood -WILLIAM then was a coal miner contractor

Do you mean they married in June 1911? That would mean that their eldest son would have been born out of wedlock

Thanks very much for your help so far but because I'm new to all of this I would like to know where I should go for a copy of their marriage certificate. Thanks

It means that the marriage was registered in the June Quarter (it would take pleace between late March and before late June). Marriages are registered on a quarterly basis March, June, September and December.

But yes it probably does means that the first child was born out of wedlock. When you dig further back into your tree you'll probably find a few more :-)

Thank you very much indeed Sue. BTW, you don't have to dig to far back in my family to find a few more of those. I was one of them ;>
