Fred married Mary Divall Q4 1932 in the Tonbridge district, and they had one daughter, Marion, according to Kathleen.16/03/2011 - - Bev and Gill went to Groombridge for mum's birthday, and met a Mr Gerry Robson of 12 Bird in Hand Street, Old Groombridge, who knew George Avis as 'codger' - he too had been born in Corseley Road, and later lived at 8 Bird in Hand Street, Old Groombridge, after Fred, Mary and Marian had lived there. (He also played football in a team with mum's brothers George and Fred, and showed us a photo of the team). This photo has now been scanned in and is viewable against George and Fred. George is in the back row, third from the right. Fred is in the back row, on the right-hand end.Gerry Robson, who provided the photo, is in the front row, on the right-hand end.Gerry Robson also told us about Fred's daughter Marian accidentally dropping her engagement ring out of her bedroom window upstairs and it landing in the gutter,and her being in a panic, and that they had to borrow a ladder from the builder's workshop where Gerry worked for Mr Manktellow, just the other side of the pub. It is believed that Freds wife Mary died in Q2 2002 in the Oxfordshire registration area, with a birth date of 25/10/1912, so she was 89. I was in touch with Marion Parker, who lived in Banbury, but she has since passed away.
