ALLEN
family: William Allen and his wife Prudence (Nee Hooper) arrived in New Plymouth with two children, John Hooper Allen and Thomas Allen. In New Plymouth they had three further children, William, Martha and William Samuel Allen. William seniors past is still a bit of a mystery, we know that he was put into an agricultural apprenticeship at the age of seven. He was reputed to have been a very strong and hardworking man. I have a copy of a photo of William (senior ) and Prudence Allen taken in later life. I am descended from William Allen junior and his wife Emily James. William seniors descendants now number in their thousands. A Reunion was held in the 1970s and family trees were constructed for these. Another researcher is computerising these currently.

ALLEN/ALLIN family William ALLEN/ALLIN, born to Mary Allin and Charles Stanhope, the third Earl of Stanhope, Chevening, Kent, England. (Lord of the Manor of Holsworthy, Devonshire), was christened in February 1810 at Holsworthy, Devonshire, England. He married Prudence Hooper, the daughter of John and Martha Hooper, and who was christened on April 28th 1811 at Week St. Mary, Cornwall, England. William was paid off by his father's family, to go to New Zealand, as he was a threat to the heir of the family fortune and title. In 1841 he emigrated aboard the Amelia Thompson with his wife and 2 small sons: Thomas born January 7th 1839 and John Hooper christened March 1st 1840, both at Holsworthy, Devonshire. Following their arrival three more children were born in NZ : William "Samuel" born November 27th 1843, Martha born December 31st 1849 and William born June 18th 1856 all at Mangorei, New Plymouth. William senior bought three farms in the New Plymouth area and was known as a man of exceptional physical strength, which he attributed to having been apprenticed to a farmer at the age of 7 years, following the death of his mother, and to having to work hard in all weathers. He never knew what it was to feel tired. He was an expert axeman, as were two of his sons Thomas and John. William senior died on April 27th 1893, at New Plymouth and Prudence on October 13th 1889 also at New Plymouth. Both are buried at Te Henui Cemetery, New Plymouth.
