resided at 15 Hampshire Street, Hull
until 1948, when they moved

The genetic curses followed him through life, his
main weakness being gambling - he loved the horses more than
life, subsequently both winning a fortune and in turn, loosing one. He was a hard to handle person being
quite abrupt and cynical and although intelligent, he
rarely used his intellect.
Poor
health struck him down in his 50's, the historical family genetic 'Ischeamic
Heart Disease' and Shingles caused him great pain, but he
soldiered on. He died in 1984 at Goole, Yorkshire and was
cremated at the Hull Crematorium, his ashes were later scattered
at sea.
