	The Wells Family The Wells family consisted of two parents, Sarah and Joseph Wells, and three brothers, Frank, Fred and Herbert George Wells. In 1864, two years before H. G. Wells was born, the family lost a nine-year-old daughter. They were a poor family and they often went hungry because of it. When the three sons were still children, the family lived off High Street of Bromley, in Kent which is outside of London. The house, regarded as "Atlas House" by the children, had two small rooms, a front room and back room on each of its three floors. The only source of heat in the house was the kitchen stove located in the basement. Once H. G. Wells made a good living writing he helped out his family members and bought his parents a nice little house in 1896. Back to Top Copyright 2000 Roman Allemann
