Hello List My relative James Herrish Allen died at "The Thatched Cottage", Barton on Sea, in 1985. The informant was his nephew Reginald David Ballard. I have not been able to discover in what way they were uncle and nephew, although I have been able to find a living relative of Reginald Ballard - who also does not know! Would any of you have perhaps been visiting relatives at The Thatched Cottage in the 1980s and met James Allen? He was originally from Bedminster so died a long way from his birthplace. I assume he had no family nearby as the informant was a nephew by marriage as far as I can work out, because Reginald Ballard's mother was a Jackson thus not a sister to James Allen. So I assume that James Allen married a Jackson or a Ballard, I am trying to find the marriage. Thanks Bev
