I found this message on the 'Allens - Nottinghamshire' forum at Genealogy.com
Looking for descendants of John Allen and Emily Whitbread. They had been living in Carlton, Nottinghamshire in 1915+. One of their daughters was named Zillah, after her grandmother on the paternal side.
This is almost certainly a reference to Ziller (Zillah) JACKLIN (née ALLEN). I have replied to the given email address, just hope it is still 'live'.
I discovered a couple of other ALLEN households where the birthplace is recorded as Clarborough, Nottinghamshire:

They may or may not prove useful in subsequent research.
I browsed through the England and Wales Census 1881 entries for Little Gringley, Nottinghamshire. A surprising number of dwellings are recorded, certainly more than my recent visit suggested. I was primarily searching for ALLEN and found the following:
FHJ Ref: 014
Census: England and Wales Census 1881
Place: Little Gringley, Clarborough, Nottinghamshire
Household: Vincent Allen
| SURNAME | FIRST NAME(S) | REL | STATUS | SEX | AGE | OCCUPATION | WHERE BORN | REMARKS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Allen | Vincent | Head | Married | Male | 49 | Agricultural Labourer | Clarborough, Nottinghamshire | |
| Allen | Millicent | Wife | Married | Female | 50 | Washer Woman | Ranskill, Nottinghamshire |

I wonder if it is safe to assume that Vincent ALLEN is a brother to John ALLEN?
