Btw, the son was nineteen. I’m guessing British boarding schools had students (generally speaking) up to age 18. But I’m not even sure he was a student. It’s just a possibility.


Allen House was a Preparatory School so would take boys up to the age of around 13, they would then go on to other boarding schools/colleges.

Hi rosie99,

Thank you for posting that bit of information!
Then it's most likely the 'cousin' would have been someone who worked there (or was otherwise affiliated with the school). Narrows the field a bit.
