• Notes

  Wellington parish in Somerset abuts the following parishes in Devon: Hockworthy, Holcombe Rogus, Culmstock, Hemyock, Clayhidon, Churchstanton. So, it may be worth checking these parishes for the elusive Allen and Pyne families. Checked: Sampford Arundel cbm 1765-1812 - no Allen, no Pyne ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a William Allen buried in Wellington on Aug 28, 1807 aged 42, born circa 1765. I wonder if this is my William Allen. If so, that would prove that he couldn't be the one who married Sarah Hutchings as children were born long after this time. William chr 19 May 1766 to Alexander and Betty at Wellington. So, if the above burial relates to this William, then this is not my William Allen as he is referred to as Junior on his marriage. The William Allen who was born circa 1773 was living in 1851 with Elizabeth Hurwood, his daughter and her daughter as a pauper farm labourer, widower in Rockwell Green A husbandman on Rockwell Green, Wellington by 1811. Aged 80 years on his burial in 1855. One of the witnesses on William Allen's marriage to Sarah Pyne was a Robert Thatcher. Just a few short years previous to that marriage was a marriage of a Robert Thatcher to a Mary Pyne, vizt. County Somerset Place Wellington Church name St John Register type Register entry number 140 Marriage date 09 Apr 1798 Groom forename Robert Groom surname THATCHER Groom abode sojourner Bride forename Mary Bride surname PYNE Witness1 forename Mary Witness1 surname COUSINS Witness2 forename Jane Witness2 surname TOOZE Could this Mary Pyne be an older sister of Sarah Pyne? Further, on the marriage of William Allen, widower to Sarah Stradling a James Pyne acted as witness. While, on the marriage of James PYNE to Elizabeth STRADLING on 30 Oct 1805, William Allen was one of the witnesses along with Abraham Shorland.
