On 22nd December their son Henry George was born in
Woolwich, Kent.
7th January 1906 - Son Henry George is baptised at St Thomas

The baptism record shows Mark and Rose living at 57, Kidd
Street, Woolwich which was very close to the Royal Horse Artillery
Barracks where we know Mark served in the Army.

Rose & Mark's son Henry George sadly passed away in
Jan-Mar 1909 age 3 . We do not know the cause of death
at this time. The first record states his name as
George Henry but is situated in his place of birth... the second is in
Yorkshire where Rose & Mark were living by 1911.

The 1911 census confirms that the couple had 3 sons who were
deceased and 1 child that was living.
Later in 1911, Rose, now 30, had another son, Sidney
but we are struggling to find his birth details.
1912 – Death of Emily,
Rose’s sister.
1914
Aug 3rd, 1914 – Birth of daughter Elizabeth Mary Eliza Amelia
Allen born in Dudley, Staffordshire. (The following day WW1 was officially
declared which must have been a worrying time as Mark Henry was still a serving
soldier in the army)
In October 1914, Rose's mother passed away at Dane End in
Therfield.
1916- 19 April 1916 she lost her brother Walter
Reginald (pictured above ) in Ypres,
Belgium during WW1.
1917 - 9th August 1917 she lost another brother
, Charlie, in Ypres, Belgium.
1917 - October that year a third brother ,
Henry George was killed in Isreal.
We are not sure where Mark Henry was fighting as we cannot find his records but
we know that Roses son Charlie was born in Dudley in 1918.
Information from this time onwards is a little sketchy but we know the three
younger children spent some time in a Barnados Childrens home in Birmingham. We are not sure yet why the
children were there or where Rose and Mark were during that time.
