Husband and wife married as long ago as 1941. After the War in 1949 they got a building plot and built a house. It was a freehold house, No. 133, Clayton Road, Hook, Chessington. It was in the husband's name, with a considerable sum on mortgage with a Building Society. There they lived and brought up their three children, two daughters, aged now 20 and 17, and a boy now 14. The wife went out to work and contributed to the household expenses.
Early in 1966 they came to an agreement whereby the house was to be put in joint names. That was done. It reflected the legal position when a house is acquired by a husband and wife by financial contributions of each.
