  Alice was in service with a lady of private means in Hove before marrying John. Alice’s father Charles Henry Teague was an asthmatic, and came to Brighton for ‘the air’, bringing his children with him. The Teagues hail from the village of Creed in Cornwall, between Grampound and Tregony, and generations are buried in the churchyard and surrounding settlements. Alice’s mother was a Bassett, and fortunately there is a one-name study of the Basset side which has traced the family back several centuries.
  After their marriage, John and Alice moved to St Luke’s Road in the Queen’s Park area of Brighton, and later to 14 Glynde Road. John Barber had a variety of jobs during his lifetime. He was by all accounts a very loveable man and a committed Christian (he was a Sunday-school teacher), but found it difficult to hold on to money and therefore never accumulated much by way of savings. Although John was married at the old parish church of St Nicholas, at some point he became a member of the religious sect that was known as the Oxford Movement. Brighton at this time was a noted centre of high church worship, and there were several Oxford Movement churches in the town, the most dramatic of which was (and is) St Bartholomew’s. John had a variety of jobs – the only ones known are crane driver at Newhaven harbour (presumably in WW1), transport worker and cloakroom attendant.⁵
