Allen noted the marriage in London on 5 November 1624 of "George Allen of London, clothworker, and Katherin Startkes of Woking," Surrey, and noted that this was a good chronological fit for the New England couple. Since George was very likely from Somerset, and is not known to have been in London, this suggestion seems unlikey, but, pending further research, not impossible.)
