I was the one who found all this to begin with (obviously), and like I said, I wasn’t and am not sure to my satisfaction.
So do you want a knighthood for that? All you found seem to fit with the rest, though it’s unclear which is the grandfather’s name, because not all the couple children are recorded (at least on familysearch.org). But those are his g-grandparents at 99%.
“So do you want a knighthood for that?”
Why be rude about it to follers, though?
Oaken05 you are in no place to call anyone rude.
paternal great-grandparents: Emmanuel Carolus Franciscus Speleers (Belgian man) and Margaret Allan

Thanks for providing a source, Andrew.
Follers,
Curious about the sourcing for this. How far back is the Belgian?
I suppose from his paternal grandfather.
Most probably his great-grandfather was Emmanuel Speleers, a Belgian who married an English woman surnamed Allan.
Allan is of Scottish origin
Thanks. But do you not have a link to this information?

His ancestors lived in North England, that makes sense
