Gender Female Residence From 1964 to 1971 “Rosedene”, Bensted House, Faversham, Kent, England - Lived at Bensted House after her mother died (I believe she couldn't live by herself due to her epilepsy).Bensted House was an old people's residential home / hospital, created from the old workhouse.
Some of it's history can be found on the Faversham website, with an account of it in 1986 on this BBC webpage.
Died 1 Jan 1971 Bensted House, Faversham, Kent, England - GRO ref: Osborn, Clara Sylvia q1 1971 dob: 23 Jan 1906 Sittingbourne RD 5f 1748
Buried 6 Jan 1971 The Cemetery, Margate, Kent, England - On the 4th, when my parents received a letter telling them of Dade's death and my mother noted she wasn't sure if the funeral was Wednesday, as Renée was saying, or Thursday, as Benstead House, were saying. But on Wednesday 6th my mother's diary notes "Dade's funeral - 2pm. It doesn't seem possible we shan't see her again". My parents do not appear to have attended the funeral, I guess it wasn't possible for my Dad to get time of work for a cousin's funeral, but they sent flowers.

Mary WARD, b. Between 1703 and 1715, d. Abt 10 May 1787 (Age ~ 84 years) (5 x Great Grandmother)Notes - Dadee suffered from "petit mal" epilepsy. I was told she was very bright, and studying hard when her father died, 5 years after the end of the first world war but as a consequence of it. The stress of this at a time when she was studying is said to have brought on the epilepsy.
