My grandmother Alice Jane GRAY married my grandfather Patrick QUINN in her home town of Bath on 1st January 1896. They settled in Haywards Heath, West Sussex where Patrick worked as a nurse/attendant in what was then St Francis Lunatic Asylum. They rented a flat in South Road, Haywards Heath, but as the family grew in number they needed more space and a garden. So they rented 22, Haywards Road, Haywards Heath where the last three of their children were born, the last being my mother Edith QUINN.
Number twenty two was a semi detached house, the owner living in the adjoining house. The owner was Ethel WEDLER. In 1902 Fraulein WEDLER, a diplomee of the Berlin Academy, mortgaged property in Haywards Road and the surrounding area.
