Life story

Life story

Alice, nee Potten, was from Patching, daughter of Henry and Mary Ann Potten. Father Henry was from Mayfield, in Sussex, and was described, in the 1861 Census, in Salvington, as a Lath Winder. (By 1871 he was described as a Lath Winder (retired)). Married in Brighton, they moved to Patching in 1820/21. Alice was one of the youngest of their very extensive family.

Alice and Albert were married in West Tarring, in January 1864.

At 9 Brunswick Road Common Lodgings' in 1871, Albert was a Common Lodgings Housekeeper with Alice, daughter Minnie (Ellen), and 25 Lodgers, male and female, from all over the country, including 3 from Ireland. Hucksters, Drovers, Hawkers, Saddlers, a Wheelwright and several Labourers.

Albert Archibald Joseph, was born in Heene, the second child in the family, and died in 1881.

In 1881, at 2 Brunswick Road were Albert, Grocer, and Alice, Grocer's wife, with daughter Minnie, 15, and sons Henry and Ernest Adolphus, aged 4 and 2.

In 1891 at 9 Brunswick Road, were Grocer Albert with wife Alice, sons Henry and Ernest, daughter Margaret, aged 5, married daughter Ellen Linnell, aged 29, a Dressmaker, with her 3-year-old son Joseph, and two male Lodgers, father and son.

At the King and Queen Public House at 9 Brunswick Road in 1901 were Albert, still a Grocer, Son Henry, aged 24, a Carpenter, and also daughter Margaret Beatrice Kate, aged 15. 79 year-old widowed Jobbing Gardener, Edwin Patten, was with them as a Boarder. The King and Queen (as the Brunswick became) was built in 1839. It wasn't so much a pub as a Beer House after the Brunswick became an Hotel. It is now a private house.
