A little snippet from Mollie:
“People didn't tend to move far. I remember Aunt Margaret telling me the first time she left Figheldean was when she was 16yrs and her mother took her to Salisbury to buy clothes for her to go away to work’.

Herbert Walter Prestwich was born in Camberwell. on 16 January 1895.

Here he is in the 1901 census return.

The family seem to have avoided being included in the 1911 census!

He served in the Royal Navy and suffered what we would now call post traumatic stress after surviving the Battle of Jutland in 1916
