Residence
Dr. Auden moved to Repton sometime after his wife's death in Birmingham in August 1941
Residence
The Audens' move back to the Birmingham area, while immediately caused by Dr. Auden's new position as Birmingham's School Medical Officer, may also have been related to Dr. Auden's interest in his family background. By the 19th century, there were hunDr.ds of persons named Auden in the Birmingham area. The name's presence in the district goes back to the 15th century and there is reason to believe that many Audens may have been Quakers -- AA
