Had an aunt who was a housekeeper at "Queenswood" Nr. Coventry Station.
It is thought that the owners of this house fostered Thomas William Ward and brought him up as a "Gent".
He kept a shop in Coton Road, Nuneaton, catering for canary fanciers. He made wire cages, drinking bowls etc. He had an advert on the Safety Curtain at the cinema near St. Georges Hall, (Bond St. ?) Nuneaton. He gave up the shop for health reasons ( possibly a legacy of rheumatic fever contracted earlier in life which may have damaged his heart).
The family moved in with his wife Elsie's father at 7, Sunnyside, Nuneaton, who by this time was a widower.
