Jimmy and Ellen lived for a while in Cook St. and then moved to 125, Kingston Rd. Coventry. Later they moved to a shop and house in Sovereign Rd. which Ellen ran as a general store for many years and eventually sol it to a cousin. They also owned several other houses in Coventry, in Bedford St. and Middlesborough Rd. all of which were sold for £1,000 when Ellen died in 1968. They finally left Sovereign Rd. and went to live at 92, Glendower Ave. Coventry.

Ellen died on 16th. January 1968 following a long illness. Jimmy died shortly after the end of WWII on 23rd. December 1949.
