William Allen was baptised on 31st March 1773 at Kirkby la Thorpe in Lincolnshire, son of Elizabeth Allen, formerly Preston, and her husband William Allen.

In 1799 William was named as the 'reputed father' of a boy called John baptised at Kirkby la Thorpe, son of Sarah Wilson. William and Sarah Wilson did go on to marry three years later, in the neighbouring town of Sleaford on 30th August 1802. They do not appear to have had any further children after their marriage.

Sarah died in 1807, when she was said to be 28 years old. She was described as "wife of William Allen" at the time of her death, indicating that William was still alive. He has yet to be traced after her death.
