Biography

William served as a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1892 to 1900, and — after a gap of more than thirty years — from 1931 to 1935.[3] Allen was the son of William Shepherd Allen, also an MP. He first entered the House of Commons at the 1892. Aged only 22, he was elected as the Liberal Party MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme, defeating the incumbent Liberal Unionist MP, Douglas Coghill.[1][4] He was re-elected at the 1895 election, but was defeated at the 1900 general election.[4] This was on account of his active service in the Second Boer War. - extract from Wikipedia site
