The birth certificate of Eliza or (if you can find it) Charles would confirm their mothers maiden name, & the marriage certificate would give Allen & Ann Elizabeths fathers names. The full christening records might give more information than the IGI - Bucks FHS has transcribed the Denham records - http://www.bucksfhs.org.uk/ I think you need to establish if Ann Elizabeth was the second wife, & if so what happened to the first one, & which was the mother of Charles.
