Ancestor John Allen birth?

Question

Thank you for finding out information on Alfred Allen born 1875 in Chesham, Bucks for me- I see his father called John Allen born round about 1839 - I have been unable to find out any further details of him I wonder if there is some gen out there? - Any help would be appreciated.

John Allen on 1881 census shown as gamekeeper. No wife on there though

Answer 2

Too many born that time , you will have to narrow it down with other records, such as the 1841 census...if he was also born in Chesham then Amersham is that district and that shows as born 3Q 1840
