Rebecca, I'm not suggesting that Joseph Hartley was his father...for whatever reason this William was away from his parents, perhaps he was an orphan and boarded out by the parish.

I've found another possibilty in 1881 but he, too, was not with his parents:
12 Stanley Grove, Tottenham
George Allen marr 55yrs Gardener b Bayford, Middlesex (actually it's Herts)
Mary A Allen wife 58yrs b Bayford, Middlesex
William Allen grandson 9yrs b Tottenham

BUT, I've tracked George and Mary back to 1861 and they did not have a son called John living with them.

Hello everyone

According to Findmypast no William James Allen registered in Edmonton, Middlesex between 1872-74. There was, however, a James William:

EDMONTON 1872 Jun qr Vol 3a pg 202

I also checked William Allen - nothing in Edmonton. I wonder if this is how Canada crept in....

Emma, the only way to be 100% sure you've got the right people is to buy the marriage and/or birth certificates of the people you know for definite to be your direct ancestors, i.e. your grandparent.

Do not base your research on family knowledge - sadly it's not always reliable as stories get distorted over time.

Merrily chasing James Beer back in time, but not seeing any connection with Allen or Moss.

Madmeg

Madmeg Report 25 Aug 2011 23:32

Rebecca, on the marriage cert was William a carpenter?

Madmeg

Madmeg Report 25 Aug 2011 23:30

Loads of Mr Buckinghams marrying an Emma - but none with the surname Allen or Moss.

Anyone else got any ideas?

Rebecca, we can't cope with too many queries at once. I'm hunting for Emma Louisa Moss.

There are three possible births for William Allen after 1911. Somebody might find some baptisms to determine which one is your Billy.

Is this her in 1911?

Could Emma be the aunt of little Emma Louisa? Also with a daughter called Emma.

Rebecca, it's most likely the ages on the marriage certificate that are wrong.

William may well have chopped a few years off his age for the marriage to hide the fact he was quite a bit older than Emma. That sort of thing frequently happened.
