Eastborne in 1891

In 1891 Emma who was widowed in 1864 was living at 16 Jevington Rd, Eastborne, Sussex. With her was her daughter Ethel Fisher 33 and her grandson Harry Fisher 6. There is no sign of Ethel's husband Thomas. Also in the house were a visitor and three servants.
In 1901 Emma still lived in Eastborne with Arthur. She was 81.

Also in Blatchington, Seaford,Eastborne in 1891 was Richard who may have been on a lengthy course perhaps. He was a Captain, I think in the 30th Lancers. Ada was there and also her sister, Florence Hicks. The two girls also were present, Audrey was 4 and Eileen was 9 months old having been born in St Helier, Jersey, CI. There was one servant who had also been born in Jersey and probably was looking after little Eileen.
In 1901 Ada was at Hemel Hempstead with Eileen and in December 1903 Richard and Ada went to Madeira on board the Walmer Castle.

Over in St Helier on the Channel Islands lived Ada's father, General CF Hicks. He was 65 and lived at 4 Elizabeth Place. He was living with his wife Ellen 33, born in Jersey and her unmarried sister, Kate O'flaherty 40, who was born in Ireland. Also there was a servant and a nurse, presumably for the General.
