Which reminds me, Merry - do you have the names of the witnesses at your William Allen's marriage?

The witnesses to William Allen's marriage were Thos. Hodson and Sarah Heap (I have a disc for St Michael's, but baptisms only begin in 1813).
As a matter of interest a Benjamin Allen married Mary Ames at St. Michael's on 9/1/1806, witnesses Thos. Hodson and Harriet Moss. Maybe brothers and sisters married? According to the baptism entries, Benjamin was a tailor. |

This might be Frederick Allen in 1871 - transcribed as Fredericka by Ancestry! Living in Smallwood. Wasn't Arthur Ames Allen living in Smallwood in 1851?

I agree, George is a possible.
I looked at that Frederick last night and got bogged down with how he could be father-in-law to the head as he's pretty young to be Sarah's father and I couldn't see an Amos Taylor to Sarah Allen marriage. Other than that, he's a possible though. (I can't remember if I looked to see how many Fred's there were bap in Lichfield now and it was only about 12 hours ago lol!!

Other than the apparent variation in social status, the fact that this family seem to have mostly moved out of Lichfield, several quite a distance, makes e feel my Wm could fit in.

Frederick Allen in 1851. Goes some way to explaining the 1861 entry.
