I have found Joseph Charles Allen getting married to Elizabeth Rose Constance Nott in 1863, Bristol
They have a daughter Flora Isabell in 1867 Bedminster and from the 1881 there is Blanche 1869 but these children are with their maternal grandparents in 1881.
Are the Allen family together in 1871 please? I am failing to find a birth for Elizabeth so an age and place of birth would be a great help (The Notts are not....)


Many thanks,
Frances

Thank you Laptop Dancer,
I have seen the name Coombs somewhere before so that could be another link also.
More searching required...

Frances, bear in mind that the census requests that you record all persons in the house on the night of the census (In 1881 it was 3rd April) so the kids may have been having a sleepover with grandparents !

Thank you Barbara
The sleepover is definitely nothing new but can you see the parents having their night alone in 1881 Laptop Dancer???
