This page is about the Morgan-Jones relationship with the Allfrey family name. The Allfrey family in this case are the Allfreys of West Dean and Friston Place in the County of East Sussex, England, UK. The family research has been under taken by three generations. Most research is documented and proven in published documentation. This page will be updated with more info on a regular basis. If you have information wich links into my own or related then please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail. The full Morgan-Jones family tree will be posted up at a later date.

I am adding new "family named" (That are directly related) Trees so that others "named" may get a connection.

Thanks to Mike(John)for the Monmouthshire history.

A "NEW" link to the Mortimer name has been establised. Wendy Mortimer has linked into the Allfrey name from her Ancestor Thomas Mortimer who married Harriet Allfrey family in 1800 (Eastbourne, Sussex). When all information has been gathered the tree will be posted up. Alas Wendy, Diana and Magaret there is no direct relationship between me and your goodselves, however I do have cousins in your tree that are Mortimer and are related to you. Thank you Diana for the GEDCOM file, as soon I have finished the input I shall post up the Mortimer Cousins to Allfrey.

• Allfrey Fire dogs from Friston Place, Co. Sussex (75 KB)
  I have this pair of Fire dogs that came from Friston Place, in Friston (An old family home in Sussex). You will clearly see the coat of arms on it, what you dont see is a mark of cadence on the shield for that of a third son (A Spur Star "mullet" in heraldic terms). George Allfrey was the owner of Friston Place in the mid 1700's.
• The Alfrey House at Gulledge. (139 KB)
  Gulledge house in East Grinstead, Co Sussex. Taken by Christopher Lane in the 1930's. Thanks to Prue (Alfrey) Turnbull of NZ for the photo. Gulledge is situated West of East Grinstead and South East of Felbridge, on the East/West Ridge Way. It is a beautiful house at the end of a long lane with good views to the South. The house is a timber framed property with a three-gabled Jacobean front with mullion windows that replaced the earlier exterior in 1609. The East and West ends are timber framed with plaster fronting and partly covered tiles. A feature is the three chimneys dating from Tudor times. They run the length of the house and the central one boasts an unusual star shape. The central stack indicates that the house was once T-shaped, possibly with a hall reaching to the full height of the house and having a gallery over the fireplace reached by spiral staircases. Horsham stone covers the roof beneath which are strong beams, heavy oak doors and spacious cellars. Records show that Richard Alfrey, a medieval MP for East Grinstead, lived at Gulledge in 1365. The stone facade and family crest, added to the house in the 16th century, are attributed to Edward Alfrey. During restoration, wall paintings dating from 1550 were uncovered. There is also evidence that a settlement existed on the site in Mesolithic or early Neolithic periods of the stoneage, along with later Roman and Saxon times.
