Oh right, obvious really :P
Would you believe there are 2 Hilda Haffendens born 1900, both in Sussex, one Heathfield, so this is 'yours' ...
1901 - RG13/879; Folio: 59; Page: 18 - Eastbourne
Brightland Road, then a sub-address I cant read !
Frank Haffenden 23 Head Bricklayer Sussex, Rotherfield
Fanny Haffenden 21 Wife born Sussex, Mayfield
Hilda R Haffenden 8 months born Eastbourne

i see allen is with his grandparents in 1901
RG13/897/62/27.
i take it that is where you got some of your info from.

I guess you have Allen H Bailey on the 1901, as you knew his grandparents names - he's with them and one of their dau's - a 20 year old Mary.
1901 - RG13/897; Folio: 62; Page: 27. - Rotherfield, Queens Road.
Allen is noted as born Rotherfield
I'll see what other kids they had in earlier years, and we may be able to piece together his parents - or at least mother .... but I'd recommend you get his Birth Cert for which Wozzle kindly looked up the Index entry ...

1891 - RG12/782; Folio 71; Page 20 - Rotherfield
Queens Road
George Bailey 53 Head General Lab Rotherfield
Francis Bailey 48 Wife Sussex, Heathfield
William B Bailey 25 son General Lab Rotherfield
Margaret Bailey 20 dau Dressmaker do
George Bailey 14 son do
James Bailey 10 son do
Mary Bailey 10 dau do
Alice A Bailey 6 dau do
So, the most obvious candidate for Allens dad is William - George is a possibilty - but dont discount that Allen may be the son of Margaret ...

Earlier snapshot of family ...

Marriages Mar 1897
BAILEY Benjamin William E.Grinstead vol 2b page 189 to Killick Bertha Annie
So they married well after Allen was born, the finger is beginning to point elsewhere ....
You really are going to have to get Allen's Birth Cert - no real clues here ...

hi back again,
waiting on allen,s BC coming.
as for Ruby have an address for her in 1943 on mums orginal BC,
Norfolk Cottages, Herne rd, Crowborough. ( mum born in croydon, prob at mother /baby home.)
waiting on mums adoption records to see if there is anything else that might help in my search for her.
cant find anything on Ruby apart from her birth, no marr, death.
dont know if she immigrated or was maybe killed during war.
think i might need to travel down to sussex but it long journey from glasgow.
TIA

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for that. It was pure coincidence that I found this thread. I was actually searching for any more info on my grandfather's WW1 experiences using a well-known search engine ;)
Serendipity strikes again!
Regards,
Sussexman

Hi Sussexman,
I love search engines, an understated tool for genealogy ;)
We have a board for Military Research here for WW1 just follow this link and ask away.....just let us know names ages dates of births etc as much as you know and see what can be found.
I was able to locate my Great Grandfather battalion details recently from a fellow RootsChatter, this lead me to discover part of a War Diary where my GGrandfather was loading gas cells on early trucks which for WW1 it unusual as it was powered by horse power!! In WW1 the major export to the front was hay for the horses ;)
Regards
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for pointing me to the WW1 board. I know what you mean about horses and hay as my grandfather's battalion were mounted infantry. I have his spurs!
Regards,
Roger
