Hi Melly bean

Welcome to the site , I have been having a look around the sites to see if I could find out about the addresses without much success , but perhaps if you can get to a library and look at the electorial records you will find information out. If you could pin it down you might find out a modern day postcode for both. The big ones have the telephone directories and possibly you can have a browse through them for 1930's. Sorry i could not be more helpful.

Hi everyone again thank you for your help. The information i now have is old mill house/lodge Rockfield used to be owned by a Colonel charlie charrington but im wondering if my gr gr uncle use to work for him but where to start dont know. It is now a b &b place, in the 1950s it was a country club. Im really interested if Robert had any family. Thanks again melly bean

Have you been through all the pages of his service record. He was injured so would get a pension. Have you looked on the national Archives site?
Would he have moved about quite so much if he had been a family man? What took him from Norfolk. then Devon and then wales I wonder. Does it give any occupation on his death cert? He was an engine driver when he enlisted. Was there no next of kin given. He may well have worked for someone in the army on being discharged. His handwriting looks to be that of someone suffering from stress. Shell-shock perhaps.
First World War.com - A Multimedia History of World War One gives an interesting piece on Charles Carrington who may well have employed him.
