In 1930 he married Edith Emily Mayes in Poplar, and the 1939 England and Wales Register shows them both living at 13 Brig Street, Poplar. His occupation was recorded as a Dock Labourer - Heavy Work, but later he was a Full Time A.R.P. Warden. His wife's occupation was listed as a Tarpaulin Sheet Repairer.
