Good afternoon to you all!

Looking for any information about the family of James Allen, who was a gilt toy maker. From the Census returns I have gleaned that his children, brothers and indeed mother were all employed in the jewelry profession.

I am descended through his son John James Allen(b1833) a silvermith who married Lucy Jane Page in 1854,
their son George Charles Allen (b 1856) a jeweller who married Mary Ann Thistlewood in 1881,
their son George Thomas Allen a wood carver in a coach works who married Mary Ann Hathaway in 1904. Their daughter Florence was my great grandmother.

Anyone else researching this family - I would love to hear from you! Any info greatly appreciated.
