The marriage record appears to be incorrect on some details such as it states that Hellen, who later readopts her birth name of Hilda in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses, is divorced. In reality it is believed that she was widowed and had a son from that marriage, Fredrick Nichols. It is not known how she was widowed. he marriage record is rich in details about the bride and groom's ancestry though. The fact is, until this record was discovered, we did not know the maiden name of Henry Newton Allen's mother. Her grave in well known in the family.

Hilda appears in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses, respectively.
