They had two children, Judith Ann, Born 14th August 1942 and Geraldine born 18th April 1947.  They lived in Richmond Road, Hessle.   In the late 50s Doris opened a Guest House for Commercial Travelers at Ferriby Road, Hessle, Richard continued to work for the local council.  

     Doris was tee-total and a non-smoker, although she gave the impression of being a very hard person, " A spade is a spade", she was in fact quite generous.

     In 1964 after selling the guest house at Hessle, Doris and Richard had a short period of living in Hull, before returning to Hessle to live at South Lane. Her life tragically ended in the garden of South Lane, Hessle, when she suffered a terminal stroke.   Doris died 23rd May 1978 at Hull General Hospital and was cremated in Hull.  

 Tragically her father-in-law (Richard Carter) who she had cared for, for many years died suddenly 3 days later.   There were two funerals from the same house within the same week.
