George Haffenden

George & Ann had eleven children, including twins Philemon and Herodia (bn 1788).

George should have been a man of some substance, and in the 1831 Census was shown as "Owner and occupier of a house and shop" in Heathfield. When he died he was described as " Wheelwright and Innkeeper" This would have been at the Old Half Moon Inn which stood beside a road that followed the north boundary of Heathfield Park. The old inn still exists but as a private dwelling, but the main road was moved northwards, possibly in the late 18th century or early 19th century, so that the buildings are now situated at the end of a lane off the main road between the Crown Inn and the T junction on the Hailsham Road. Info from Walter Haffenden suggests the marriage date of George and Ann as 30/05/1770 at Warbleton, Sussex.
