An article on 13 April 1928 - Leamington Spa Courier - Leamington, Warwicks gives his address as 9 Clifton Terrace, Kenilworth and he was an Ironmonger. - it states he left a will.

Thank you Maureen. The 'story' from 'the family' seems to have mis-matches all the way through but there is certainly a reference to a lot of money for Elizabeth (Mrs Fleet)

Frances why do you think he was a builder ?

Thank you Maureen, that is the death I had picked from FreeBMD but, of course, it didn't mention all that money !

"She had her own car in the 1920s and drove like HELL"

"Francis Henry Checkley had a connection with Riley Cars in Coventry"

Frances Report 5 Mar 2015 14:47

Hi Maureen, to answer your question of why I suggested he was a builder because that was part of the eroneous info I was given to work from.

Hi greyghost, sorry for not thanking you for the 1911 Census yesterday. I did see it and copied it into my computer but things were moving rather fast and it slipped my mind.
