5th Great Grandparents
William Allen. I have not found his baptism so his year of birth is approximate, He gives his abode as Kirtling on his marriage, but there is no baptism in Kirtling Records.
William married Sarah Hargrave, there is a strange twist in the parish registers in that they married twice, the first ceremony was on on 14 Jun 1761 (1) in Kirtling and a further ceremony on 16 June 1761 (2) William batchelor of Kirtling and Sarah Hargrave Spinster of this parish at Burrough Green, Cambridgeshire, witnesses were Henry Stubbing and Robert Chapman.
Sarah Hargrave was baptised on 29 Oct 1738 (2) in Burrough Green, Cambridgeshire. Her parents are John Hargrave and Margaret Abrey
William and Sarah had 8 children.
