Veronica, Adrian and Alan Fordham

When they got married Felix and Florrie lived on Balham High Road where Veronica Florence was born on 10th September 1938.  However, war broke out soon after and Felix was called up.  

The house was badly bombed on 15th October 1940 (the bombing was featured in a war publication) and so Florrie and Veronica were forced to move in with Alan's parents in Links Road, Tooting.  This arrangement did not last for long and by January 1941 Florrie had moved with Veronica to live with Doreen Key (her brother Arthur's wife) in Braintree, Essex, where second child Adrian Edward was born on 17th January.

How long Florrie was in Braintree is unclear but by 1994 she is evacuated out to Lancashire (possibly near her Aunt and Uncle Kate and Frank Sweetland Cocks?) where her third child Alan Arthur was born on 11th November 1944 at Queen's Hydro Hotel, Clovely.

By 1943 Felix and Florrie had arranged to move to 79a High Street, Teddington and it was this house that was to be the family home until 1983 when Felix passed away.
