Trevor Ogden Trevor ( formerly Dudley ) Ogden was the son of Stan and Hilda Ogden . Trevor was fifteen in 1964 when the Ogdens moved into 13 Coronation Street ; too young to get a job but old enough to want money . Before Leonard Swindley and Emily Nugent married , Trevor tried to sell rice to Stuart Hodges but the lay preacher didn ' t take him up on his offer . A few weeks later , Ena Sharples caught him stashing twelve bags of onions in the Glad Tidings Mission Hall and demanded 10 % of the profits in exchange for her silence . He made no money from the scheme however as he was caught shifting them by Annie Walker , who sacked Irma and Hilda from their jobs at the Rovers when Hilda defended from Annie ' s bitter tongue . Hilda and Irma then demanded the money Trevor made from selling the onions ( although they were reinstated a few days later ) . In September , an unexploded bomb was found in Albert Tatlock ' s yard , and the residents were evacuated to the Mission cellar . While the houses were empty , Trevor broke in and stole what money he could find , and cigarettes from the Corner Shop . Rather than be caught , Trevor took the money and left Weatherfield , leaving his parents a note saying he ' d gone to London . Trevor spent a while living rough , until he met a man who gave him a job at his coffee shop . He worked his way up to a wood yard , then a builders yard , then an office , continuing in the building trade . By 1973 , he was an estate agent and lived in a detached house in Avondale Avenue , Chesterfield with his wife Polly and their son Damian , who was born that year . Trevor met Polly when he had a cyst operation carried out in a hospital where Polly worked as a nurse . When he married Polly in 1971 , he told her that his parents were dead , although he did write a letter to Stan and Hilda that year before marrying , which he thought they ' d ignored as he never received the reply they sent . At the end of 1973 , just before Christmas , Polly answered the door to Stan and Hilda , who had tracked Trevor down to Chesterfield as they wanted to reconnect with him after nine years . The initial exchanges were awkward as the elder Ogdens didn ' t know that Trevor had married or that they were grandparents , while Polly was interested in why Trevor had written them off but didn ' t want Stan and Hilda to know he had . When Trevor arrived home , he wasn ' t happy to see his parents but he was polite with them , although he was visibly embarrassed at the reminder of the working class community he ' d abandoned . When alone with Polly , Trevor was more vocal , warning her that if they let Stan and Hilda into their lives they ' d never be rid of them . Polly admitted that she didn ' t like them much either but that she wanted to invite them to stay the night as it was getting late , but Trevor was against this and rushed them out of the house before their dinner guests arrived . There was friction between father and son as Stan was very aware that Trevor was only tolerating them , and Trevor blamed Stan for his failings as a child . This was exacerbated when Polly let slip that she ' d been told Hilda and Stan were dead , and they left shortly thereafter . Trevor paid occasional visits to Weatherfield , usually when he wanted something . In December 1975 , while pregnant with their second child , Polly was admitted to hospital with Toxaemia . Trevor asked the Ogdens to spend Christmas in Chesterfield , which delighted them , and came up to Weatherfield to watch Hilda the Community Centre ' s performance of " Cinderella " . He waited as long as possible before telling them about Polly ' s illness as he knew Hilda would realise he was really asking her to look after the house and Damian while he worked over Christmas . Hilda was hurt when he revealed his real motive for asking , but she went to Chesterfield anyway . In January 1976 , Polly gave birth to a daughter , Jayne . Trevor brought Damian to No . 13 in 1983 , shortly after the death of his Uncle Archie , Hilda ' s brother . He asked them if they could look after Damian while he attended a job interview and Hilda was more than happy , although Stan was suspicious , knowing Trevor was only there for Archie ' s money from his will . Trevor then asked Hilda for a loan of £2 , 000 , but they didn ' t have the money and Stan told Trevor that even if they did have the money , they wouldn ' t give it to him . Trevor returned again over a year later for Stan ' s funeral , without Polly , Damian and Jayne . He couldn ' t resist but to express his disappointment that his sister Irma couldn ' t come to the funeral ( although she had sent a telegram to her mother from Canada where she had now chosen to settle down and start afresh ) . After the funeral , he didn ' t stick around and went home . In October 1986 , Hilda was drafted in again when Trevor and Polly went on holiday for two weeks without the kids .
