Life story

Life story

Jennie's father Thomas married Annie (nee Hack) in Brighton in 1866.

In 1871 they were living in Anchor Road, Worthing now Lyndhurst Road with their first three children, son Arthur Ernest, 3, daughters Jennie Rose, 2, and Agnes May, 5 months. Thomas was a Gardener as he was 10 years later, then living in Park Terrace, with Annie, Arthur, Jennie, May (Agnes), plus Thomas, Frederick and Evelyn.

In 1881 and 1891 they were living at Heene Farm - also known as Bushby's Farm which was where numbers 131 and 141 Heene Road are now some of the old flint walls still stand. Thomas was then a Market Gardener and Nurseryman, with sons Arthur, Thomas and Frederick as his Assistants. They had one Domestic Servant, Fanny Grinsted from Nuthurst.

In 1901 the family were living at The Homestead, Heene. (In Pigot's 1823 Directory, there was a Homestead in Downview Rd and another in St Botolph's Rd.) Thomas was now a Farmer and Fruit Grower, Employer, with Annie, daughters Jennie and Evelyn  at home, single, and a 17 year-old Domestic Servant, Annie Driscoll.

In 1911 they were living at Heene Croft, in Heene Road. Croft Cottage is the flint-walled house with barred windows in Heene Road, just above Heene Gallery. It is likely that this is the same place as Heene Croft. Thomas was a Market Gardener, living with Annie, daughters Jennie, Agnes Mary, now a widow, and Evelyn Annie Buckeridge (married in 1905 to Malcolm Buckeridge.

Father Thomas died in 1916.

Annie was the Head of Household in the 1921 Census, at 69 Heene Road. With her were daughters Jennie and Evelyn, and Domestic Servant 35 year-old Ethel Turman, who was born in Brighton.

Annie died in 1927.

In 1939, still in Heene Croft, were Jennie and her sister Evelyn Buckeridge ( divorced from husband Malcolm)

Jennie didn't marry. She died, aged 91, in December 1963. Her address was now 137 Heene Road, but she died at 16 St Michael's Road. She gave probate to sister Evelyn. She left over £26,000.

A window was created in the North Wall of St Botolph's Church, given by her sister Evelyn to commemorate her.
