Any Historians Out There?

A Memory of Rudgwick.

This isn't a memory ......more of an appeal perhaps to any historian in Rudgwick.

My mother, Una Griffin aged 15 and her sister Patricia aged 19 arrived at Liverpool from Bombay on the 5th June 1944. The were daughters of Jim Griffin, an army officer. Their mother, Annie Griffin had died aged 41 in December 1938 in Poona. On the Incoming Passenger List of the "Sibajak" they described their address in the UK as THE KINGS HEAD IN RUDGWICK.
I know of no other connection with Rudgwick. My mother settled in Croydon where I was born in 1957, but I moved to North Wales when my Mother died tragically in 1963.
If someone has any idea why my mother and aunt stayed at The Kings Head I would be so grateful.
Thanks.
