Hillside Cottage, Compton Common
A Memory of Compton.
My father, Leslie Blunden Gains, was born in 1909 (died 1987 in Redhill) and brought up by his maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Blunden in Compton at Hillside Cottage. This was the address given on my father's marriage certificate in 1935. The head of the household in the 1911 census was Lewis Blunden. My father's mother, Lester Blunden, was in service prior to his birth. I tried to find Compton in the 1980's on a visit to the U.K. but without any luck. After their marriage in 1935 my parents lived in Broomleaf Road, Farnham until 1948 when they moved to Woking Fire Station where we lived until 1952. My father was in the Surrey Fire Brigade until 1974 upon his retirement in Reigate. I was born in 1944. I would love to hear from anyone with any information about the Blunden family as my parents and all other known relatives are dead.
