Parkend post ww1 to 1926 (General)

I am researching my mothers family Phipps/Parry.

My GGrandmother married William Earnest Parry (B Woolaston 1881) at Risca in 1901.

They had four girls and one boy who all moved to South London.

The youngest daughter Ena Mary rejoined her mother Catherine Ann in Parkend during 1932 (I believed they lived at 11/12 the Square before moving to 24)

Catherine Ann Parry (nee Stanley) moved to the Square with Frances Phipps (Frank). Frank ran a haulage business from the Cannop road.

Shortly after returning to live with her mother Ena married Edward (Ted) Jessop. Ted was a widower with four children. Family from Ted's first marriage still live in the Forest.

Catherine Ann's second youngest daughter gave birth to my Mother Thelma Parry (B Nov 1926 - Father unknown). Thelma (Peggy as she was known) was brought up by my GGrandmother and attended Parkend school where she was registered as Peggy Phipps (Jan 1932) Guardian Frances.

I would be interested in any information re The Square Parkend between WW1 and 1926 plus any help with:-

a. Date my GGrandmother moved to the Square.
b. Date of any marriage to Frances Phipps
c. Date of Death for Frances Phipps
d. Date of death of William Earnest Parry
e. Divorce (If any) between William Earnest Parry and Catherine Ann

Catherine Ann moved from the Square, along with Ted Jessop in 1947 to live in Nuneaton close to Ted's brother

Kind Regards
