Thankyou Elizabeth, now you mention it I think I've got those details in one of my first ever research notebooks, I wonder what I did with it? .Obviously I couldn't read my own handwriting!

Terrible shock for John and Master Challen. It occurs to me to wonder if perhaps dear old Esther's time had come and she simply suddenly dropped dead. It might have been sheer coincidence that the fire was there for her to fall into.

They'd had a grandson living with them the year before at census time Janet. I hope that their conclusion that she was dead before she fell in the fire was correct.
We visited the tiny hamlet of Henley Hill before I knew of all this, it is like a part of Sussex that time forgot down a single track road with a few cottages, the old beerhouse from their time is now an incredibly expensive dining destination for the well heeled of the Sussex/Surrey border. |
