Hi again Sally,
in case you don't see it, Ephraim Baglin is also key to an interesting story in this more recent thread, hope it's of interest.

I've also belatedly remembered to search-out the Baglin innkeepers in the local trade Directories, giving;

1870 Kelly's Post Office Directory of West Dean 1870
"LANE END:-
BAGLIN Daniel, beer retailer"
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cbennett/westdean1870.htm

Morris & Co. Commercial Directory & Gazetteer of West Dean 1876
"COALWAY LANE END
Trades and Professions
BAGLIN Mrs. Mary Maria, beer retailer"
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cbennett/westdean1876.htm

1879 Kelly's Directory for Berry Hill & Lane End
"Lane End
Baglin Daniel, beer retailer"

While googling the above names I also found this superb and highly recommended website which shows members of the Baglin family within the Scowles School Admission Registers, eg

Surname Parent Occupation Date of Birth Reg. Year Notes
214 Daniel Baglin Evan Baglin Berry Hill Collier Feb 1875
292 William Baglin Ephraim Baglin Berry Hill Collier 25.4.1877
440 Edith Baglin Ephraim Baglin Berry Hill Collier 1880

This excellent School photo looks to be a little late to include the above Baglins.

Indeed I see from the Dance website it is the 1914 Class.
