Henry Rose and his wife, Ellen (née ?) lived at 63 St Helen's Rd, Hastings with their daughters at the beginning of 20C. Henry was a prosperous grocer. One daughter, Laura Sophia, married George Ockenden of Bexhill. Two of Henry's unmarried daughters continued living in St Helen's Road until c.1952.

While I maintain an interest in the Ockenden side, I do not have the time or energy to delve into the Rose family history. Alas I do not remember the maiden name of Ellen. Can anyone on this forum perhaps tell us? This information may trigger a better response.

Anyway, I have two old pictures of Ellen's ancestors from my late father, Stuart Ockenden. I would love them to go to someone who is researching the Rose family. Is anyone interested?
