His father was a Foundry Labourer and the family lived at 169 Usher Road, Bow. On 1 March 1908 he was baptised at St Mark's Church, Victoria Park, Bow. 

In 1937 he married Lydia L. Dore in Poplar and they had one son, John V. Tidder who was born in 1939. Electoral registers for 1939 show the family living at 27 Mornington Grove, Bow.
