.Harold and Clara lived at 'Homefield', The Bitfield, (later renamed Westlands Road), Lacey Green. The house was built about 1932.

Harold and Clara had 3 children, Ronald 'Ron; Leonard Janes born 1939, Phyllis Lilian Janes born 1944, and Kieth William Janes. see Phyllis Matthews nee Janes

Harold William Janes at first worked in a furniture factory but he left that to work for J.Smith and Sons, road contractors at Naphill. He was forced to leave that when the Welsh marched to Westminster to protest about lack of work and the Government compelled companies to give work to the men from Wales.

Bomber Command at Walters Ash had a stand-by generator plant (in a building which has subsequently been removed), and Harold got a new position in charge of the generators there.
