After the War, with no work available on the Ashburnham Estate, Ted headed off westerly looking for a job. Eventually he found work at a bakery in Ropley near Winchester.
One day, he was delivering bread to the house of a retired admiral when the maid there told him that there was a job going as the admiral’s chauffeur and handyman.

Ted and his wife, Lillian, moved back to Ashburnham in the early 1930s bringing with them 2 boys and 2 girls. They all lived in Trinity Cottage in Lakehurst Lane until they ran out of space, at which point half the family moved into one of the cottages at the Furnace. As the elder children grew up and moved away the family reconvened in Pleasure House Cottages, further up Lakehurst Lane, where the last of the 8 children was born in 1945.
