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. My mother remembered attending a garden party at Coleorton Hall to celebrate the coming of age of the son of the Hall. Ancestry gives various entries for an Edward Jarvis HEXTALL, suggesting that someone of this name married an Emma CRAIG and had a family of at least three children. There are also several Emma HEXTALL deaths recorded in FreeBMD, including one in 1910. What I can't find is a marriage between my GA and 'Charles' HEXTALL, although I have found that she died in Ashby in 1937. Intriguingly, Edward J HEXTALL describes himself in 1901 as an electrical engineer. What do you think, Dear Experts? I've always known that he was Charles. Might he *really* be Edward J? Kind regards Joy
