Mumby-Croft in 1941 and they had three children: Anne Olivia born in 1942, who married Piers Dixon, Conservative MP for Truro 1970–1974, and son of Sir Pierson Dixon, GCMG, Ambassador to France 1960–1964. Pauline Margaret Cronin was born in 1944, and married Stephen Clarke, the son of Bernard and Doris Clarke. Charles John Cronin was born in 1961 and married Jane Hockey; Charles served on Westminster City Council as a Conservative from 1998 to 2002. Cronin died on 3 January 1986, aged 69, whilst out riding in the New Forest in Hampshire. In the late afternoon his horse returned home without him: it was feared he might have been thrown and that he could be lying badly injured in freezing weather conditions. The Forest Verderers were sent out and found him dead on a forest path, not far from his home at Stoney Cross. A post mortem later found that he had died of a massive heart attack and stroke. His funeral was held at Minstead Church and Sir Ernie Harrison, Chairman of Racal and a close friend, made a valedictory speech from the pulpit during the service. Cronin lies buried in Minstead Church graveyard.
