From a history found on familysearch.org:
On 3 May 1863, in Whitwick, Leicestershire, England, a son was born to Mary Ann Clark and Langley Allgood. They gave him the name of William. Of their six children he was the only one to live past the age of fifteen. Four of them died as infants. When Will was four years old, his father died and just a year later his brother, Langley, was drowned, at the age of fifteen. This left Will and his mother alone. They lived with his grandparents for six years. At this time Mormon missionaries converted Mary Ann Allgood and her son, William, and they became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In October 1873 they sailed from England to America and went directly to Coalville, Utah.
Mary Ann and Will struggled alone in Coalville. His mother married Samuel Gentry. There was some friction between stepfather and stepson. Will left for about two years. He worked for a construction contractor, returning home again where his stepfather taught him the blacksmith trade.
In 1885 Will met a lovely black-haired girl with dark brown eyes named Emma Birch. Will courted Emma for a year. They were married in the Logan Temple August 2, 1886. They lived in Almy, Wyoming, when they were first married. Will worked doing blacksmith work for the mines. It was a rough mining town and Emma worried when she was alone at night when Will had to work late. Here their first son, William Allgood, was born. A short time later the family moved to Idaho and homesteaded the family farm at Wilford, Idaho. It never had a mortgage on it. They lived in a two-room log house. They had a hard time and their first winter there Will had to go back to Almy to work. Emma and her young son stayed alone except for Jack Birch staying with them part of the time. It was a hard winter for them - they had such a little feed for the livestock and just had to pull them through until spring - they did.
Will had a blacksmith shop on his farm and did quite a lot of work in it. There was no dentist in the community so Will made some forceps in his blacksmith and then he became the dentist for his friends and neighbors. He was also constable for several years - he never believed in carrying a gun. He was always an honest, upright, law-abiding citizen in the community. Eventually Will and Emma's children numbered twelve.
William Allgood was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. He was a good farmer and blacksmith. He loved flowers and good singing. The fine tributes paid to him showed how highly his friends and neighbors thought of him. He was never much to give sermons and such in church, but he never failed to contribute to the church whatever and whenever he was asked.
