Have asked my folks for more details about Great Aunt Tessie. My mother, who said Tessie Reynolds was her godmother as well as her aunt, confirmed that Tessie Reynolds father did indeed own a cycle shop at 25 Bristol Road, Brighton. He had previously been in the army and then a PE instructor to the Brighton Police. He apparantly encouraged sporting activities in all his eleven children of whom Tessie was the oldest. He taught them fencing and boxing as well as encouraging their cycling. Later, Tessie married and moved to Barnett where she was a road safety Officer. She outlived three children and died, I think sometime in the early 1950s.
