Allen's birth was registered between Oct-Dec 1874 in Westbourne, Sussex, England and he appears with his parents in 1881, 1891 and 1901 in the Ship Inn, Bosham.
The next record I can find is his Burial in the Bosham Parish records: 12 Feb 1953. His residence at the time is recorded as Rochallions, School Lane, Bosham.
Later in the Parish register, a Louisa Martin is Buried on 31 December 1953, also having resided at Rochallions. She's aged 80 upon her death.
I have located a marriage record for an Allen Mark Martin and Louisa Ann Hill, Jul-Sep 1903 in Downham, Norfolk.
Researching whilst I'm blogging: Louisa Hill appears in the 1901 Census. Born c1875 in Stow, Norfolk, she's a Domestic Servant at Old Park - in Bosham!
This would support the marriage record find. Allen took her back to Norfolk to marry her and then returned to Bosham. In the absence of any stronger evidence, I'll have to assume (dangerous!) that this is the correct Louisa Martin who died in Bosham. The age at death / birth year is almost perfect too.
