William Basil James ALLSEBROOK (1913-1938)

William Basil James Allsebrook (1913-1938), known as Basil, was the son of the Vicar of Badsey, Aldington and Wickhamford.

Basil was born on 29^th August 1913 in Badsey Vicarage, the elder of two children of William Carmont Allsebrook and his wife, Evelyn Kate (née Hands).  Mrs Allsebrook’s parents also lived at the Vicarage, so Basil grew up with her maternal grandparents close by.  Basil was aged 18 when his mother died in 1932.

Basil never married and remained living at Badsey Vicarage until his death on 14^th June 1938, aged 24.  He left effects of £1,132 9s 8d; his uncle, Harold Allsebrook, was granted probate.
