Find Ancestors

wonder if any one can help me please trying to find info on Charles William Allen born abt 10 1901 in Leicestershire died abt 1984 Ipswich Suffolk he married Mabel Evelyn Catling
If any info on him and his parents and brother and sister would be great

thank you

Have you found any info on his death or marriage certificates?

You know he had a brother and sister - presumably you know their names - have you found the family on the 1911 census?

Is this his death with the names reversed?


Name: William Charles Allen
Birth: 1 Jan 1898
Death: Feb 1984 - epping Forest, Essex, England


This one, mis-transcribed?


Name: Charles William Allard
Birth: 27 May 1900
Death: Sep 1982 - Ipswich, Suffolk, England

Marriage cert should give you the father's name


Marriages Dec 1931

Allen Charles W - Catling - Ipswich 4a 2513
Catling Mabel E- Allen- Ipswich 4a 2513

born abt 10 1901 ... I assume this mean October 1901

Several Trees on Ancestery have his DOB as 12 Oct 1901

but then again they also have the marriage as 1924 ( should be 1931)

If you want factual info, get a copy of his marriage cert

It will include his declared age, and the name and occupation of his father - if he knew him
