From Genforum:
I did a general search on Ancestry for William Leon Allen. And for all the WLA's you've got they only had one. He is listed in the California Deaths, 1940-97 database as born in Pennsylvania 31 Aug 1874 and dying in Riverside County, CA on 7 Dec 1956. Any chances this is your guy? Good hunting, Phil Barclay
