ALLEN-JONES Family

[proteantime]

Hi all,

I'm searching for any information about the Allen-Jones family who lived somewhere called Little Bursteads, Little Hallingbury, Bishops Stortford.

If anyone can help me with any knowledge of this family or of the location I would be eternally grateful.

The story begins with our Mathilde (Milly) Oppenheim marrying the Rev. J Allen Jones in 1908.

They had a son (JE) who married at St. Mary's Sawbridgeworth in 1937.  JE and Margaret Allen-Jones had one son and two daughters.

J E Allen-Jones was in the RAF and earnt the titles Vice Air Marshall and a CBE. 

Kind regards

Hi Kirsten,

Little Hallingbury is actually in the county of Essex.
 
Having said that, from the Essex Street Map, Little Bursteads would appear to be a property on Hallingbury Road which is the direct route from Little Hallingbury to Sawbridgeworth railway station,  just in Hertfordshire.

Good luck with your search.

Regards   ...   Peter

Thanks Peter!

That's settled a little of the confusion for me.  The events I refer to come from notices in the Times newspaper and on various ocasions Essex was referred to rather than Hertfordshire.  With boundaries moving over the decades it appears this is a natural reason for the varying address counties.

Thanks for your time.

Kirsten.
