From: Dr Brian E Lloyd <[email protected]> ------------------------------------ Dear <[email protected]>, Linda has given you the right information. I still have copies of Tales of the Ten Mile: Ballybeg to the Bush, for $20. I includes a complete history of the Allens of ten Mile. Tom Allen was buried at Jamieson, is the large family tomb. I have a picture of his funeral procession.
