He lived with his mother, father and sister Mary in Ryhope, Sunderland. As he was unmarried he left his keeper ring with his mother when he left for the war. Unfortunately, he was never to return and collect his ring. His mother passed it to his sister Mary, who then passed it to her daughter Margaret (Peggy), my Nana. She is 92 and still has it today.
