By 1972, he is living in Claremont with his wife Nalda. In 1958, Desmond's address on the electoral roll is given as Derwent P.O., Bushy Park.

Died:
Bury and Norwich Post 28 January 1862
FATAL ACCIDENT AT CHEVINGTON. - On Thursday, the 16th inst., a man named Wm. Nunn was driving a team of horses from Hargrave to Chevington, and on going down the hill from that place, a young horse became unmanageable and started off. The man, who was riding on the shaft horse, attempted to throw himself off so as to escape the wheel, but unfortunately it passed over his body. He was carried home immediately, and Mr. Barker, who was soon in attendance, found the poor man suffering from the shock, the bladder being much injured. He lingered in great suffering until Thursday last (23rd), when he expired.
