 * 1) 1 There is a birth registered for an Allen VIZE in July 1864 and "Allen VIZE" appears with the family on 1871 census. Records for Henry Allen VIZE consistently state his birth as 30 July 1867 though there is no birth registered for a Henry or Allen VIZE in 1867, and the Allen of 1864 was clearly living in 1867. Henry does not appear with the family in 1871, only Allen. It therefore appears that Henry Allen may in fact be Allen VIZE born in 1864, perhaps the Henry was added to distinguish him from his father Allen. It cannot however be discounted that there is both an Allen and a Henry Allen.
