Hello Joy, I can confirm from the Leicestershire FHS Burial Index that there was a burial on 29 September 1910 at Market Bosworth of an Emma HEXTALL, aged 49 of Market Bosworth. Also from the same source, and this could be a corroboration of your existing knowledge, the burial at Market Bosworth on 2 June 1925 of an Edward Jarvis HEXTALL, aged 66 of Coleorton. Looking at one of the Ancestry Family Trees for Edward Jarvis and wife Emma, they did have a son Charles Edward HEXTALL, so perhaps Edward J preferred to be known as Charles? Janet Another tweak at the life-events of my GA, Lucy Amy STOKES, b 1876 in Alfreton, reveals a marriage to:- Edward J HEXTALL AMJ 1914 Ashby de la Zouch. This would tie in nicely with the fact that Amy, as she was known, was single and housekeeper in the household of Dr Robert STEWART in Leicester in 1911. I know that Amy and her husband, 'Charles' HEXTALL, were working at Coleorton Hall after their marriage, he as an engineer, she as cook.

Many thanks for this, Janet. All the details seem to point to Charles HEXTALL and Edward Jarvis HEXTALL being the same person. I'm quite keen to get him right, because my mother, niece of Charles and Amy HEXTALL, told me about attending the Coleorton Hall garden party. The son, whose coming-of-age party it was, circulated with a tray and said to my mother 'Do have some cake to gnaw while you're listening to the band.' This was one of the highlights of her childhood!
