Sussex / Re: Cooper's Farm, Chiddingley

The children Bessie and Charles Holt are related to me.
Esther Bourne's daughter was called Bessie Bourne. She married my ggrandad, George Hoult, who was in the Army, but settled in Hinckley.
They had three children - George Amos 1911, Bessie Marie 1913, and Alfred Edwin 1916. Their mother, Bessie died in 1916 in childbirth with Alfred Edwin, who also died. I've never heard of a Charles, so I don't know where he fits in.
George snr didn't remarry until 1925, so in 1921, George and Bessie would have been motherless, and perhaps their father was away with the Army - therefore they were temporarily sent to stay with their Grandmother Esther in Sussex.
As for Stanley Bourne - I feel sure he will connect to Job in some way - Job was part of a large farming family in Chiddingly (Father was Walter Bourne of Beard's Farm in Hellingly - I will have to try to trace the family I have here forward to tie in the names - however, some of the names are in the family - Job had a sister called Ruth, and his wife was called Annie before she died - Joseph is also a family name - If I turn up anything here I'll get back to you.
Many thanks for your help - does any of this family tie in with your own? I'd be happy to send you more stuff if you think it would help

He may possibly have been married to an Olive Illston
