Biography

Surrey (historic flag)
Horace Allen was born in Surrey, England.

Horace Oswald was born on 16 Nov 1901 in Kingston-Upon-Thames, Surrey, England, the son of Oswald Allen and Gertrude Allen nee Hedges [1] [2]

He was baptised on 8 Aug 1906 at the church of St John the Evangelist, Palmers Green, Middlesex. The register entry gave his birth date as 16 November 1902, and his parents as Oswald Allen (a draper) and Gertrude Emily Allen. Their abode at this time was 9 Old Park Villas. [3]

At the 1911 census Horace was living with his mother Gertrude at the house of her unmarried sister Alice Mary Hedges at 72 Park Avenue, Palmers Green. Alice was described as 51, single, a Millinery Manageress (employer) born at Isleworth Middlesex.
Gertrude was described as 43, married for 19 years, with two children living and one died born St Pancras Middlesex. Interestingly, the enumerator has crossed through her childbearing history on the return.
Horace was 9 years old, nephew to the head of the household, a scholar, born Kingston, Surrey.
Neither Horace's father Oswald nor his older sister were present in the household for the census. [4]


Horace married Heather Tattersall on 29 Jan 1943, Registry Office, Grantham, Lincolnshire[5]

Horace died on 10 Jan 1982 at Launceston, Cornwall[6] [1]
