The names are as follows: George Bonham, of 21 Ormerod-Avenue, Hollington born (July 1?) 1859 died at the age of 87 (1947). He served in the Royal Sussex Regiment and was a Chelsea Pensioner. 1939, fell through a shop window at Silverhill and was partially blinded. Bonham was a member of the Hastings branch of the British Legion. He llived with a daughter and four grand children at Ormerod avenue He was believed to be Hastings' oldest soldier Married Jeannie Wilson from Edinborough, Scotland (approx. 1882-1884?) 5 children: William - December 7, 1892 born  Old Lane, Hollingtron RSD              Jack, Elsie, Beatrice, Florence       I'm anxious to find any records I can, to help me fill in the many gaps in the family history:  i.e, birth, marriage, death certificate, military records, census records, etc.  If I knew where the family was buried, I could then pursue trying to get a photograph of the family gravestones     My sincere thanks for any assistance.    Patti Marino Roswell, GA USA
