Rosemary Howe - Herne Bay Kent - convalescent home ?
« on: Thursday 11 August 22 12:32 BST (UK) »
The long running saga of my great uncle Walter Edward Bartlett b 1905

After help from all you lovely Rootschatters I got some of his history together. b 1905 in Sidcup / Plumstead, moved to family home in Warmington with other kids and mum where dad died.   Gap until he appeared as cadet on the Blue funnel line for a while. Married Dorothy bull at Edmonton in 1928 where the certificate stated Marine Lightship officer, lived in Enfield but died in 1933.

Just decided to visit the 1921 census and found him at age 16 convalescing in Rosemary Howe in Herne Bay Kent.  My question is whether anyone knows about Rosemary Howe. I believe he was was on ten there so assume it was a convalescent home.
Bartlett -  Hampshire via London to Northants
Rimes - Northants, Llandudno and Birmingham
Garrett - Northants
Thorneloe - Leics and Northants
Jackson, Powell - Staffordshire

It seems it was given to the scouts in 1927 but was a convalescent home before. This may be the same place in 1922.
