Ziller Allen
Article
The 1881 British Census records an Elizabeth ALLEN at Little Gringley, Nottinghamshire. I feel sure this must be Ziller JACKLIN (née Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949). My father recalls he knew his grandmother as Ziller but just to add to the confusion, her marriage certificate records the name Zellaby.

I think I need to obtain a copy of Ziller's birth certificate in order to clarify both her name at birth and her place of birth.
Update: 2007-08-31 I later discovered Elizabeth ALLEN 1861- was a younger sister of Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949. The 1881 British Census records Ziller (Zillah) now living with the George SMITHSON 1830- household at East Drayton, Nottinghamshire. To read this update click here.
