I am interested in The Darlington as I suspect that the landlord in 1939 and 1940 was my maternal grandfather. Leonard Mark Cutts Avis was ‘licensed victualler’ living there in September 1939 as recorded in the 1939 Register. He was born in West Mersea, Essex in 1892. *
I see that from the 1940 Kelly’s you’ve got ‘Leonard C M Davis’. I’d say that’s the same person, wouldn’t you?
He was in the army in NW India (now Pakistan) in 1928. Then he turned up at The Darlington. My mum was born in 1931. He emigrated to Canada in 1948.
