Horatio Edgar Jecks, the first of three of the name, was the second son of Charles James Jecks (Charles V).  He acted as executor for his brother Charles Albert (Charles VI).  He established a company at London's center of fish trading, Billingsgate, at least as early as 1886 (see company extract below).  However, for at least 20 years before he set up his own company, Horatio had been known as a “Fish Salesman” or an “Auctioneer”, when presumably he was auctioning fish.  His grandson Edward Albert Jecks had always understood that Horatio was a liveryman (fishmonger) and that the business was well known.  Edward visited the Company offices in Lower Thames Street many times.  Although the business continued under the name Jecks Brothers for some time, there was no longer anyone of the Jecks name involved. 

 

In the late 1880s, Horatio Edgar Jecks added another occupation – that of a Director of at least three different “Tramways” companies.  Each of the three advertised for share capital subscription – two in the London area, “Harrow & Paddington” and “North Metropolitan”, and in Lancashire, “Rossendale Valley”.

​

Horatio had a family of nine children.  He married the children’s mother, Mary Ann Emma Crix in 1889 in Brighton.  The first four children were born in Southwark and registered under Mary’s family name, with the later children as Jecks in Lambeth, which is on the south side of the Thames, across Lambeth Bridge from Westminster:

 

Marion                                    Newington             1868

Lilian (Florence)                     Southwark              1870

Horatio Edgar (“Horace”)       Southwark              1871

Charles Herbert                      Southwark             1872

Florence Minnie                     Lambeth         Dec 1873

Albert Edward                        Lambeth                 1875

Alice Lavinia                          Lambeth                 1878

Ethelbert                                Lambeth                 1882

Reginald Percy                      Lambeth                 1883

 

Horatio died in 1905 at Wandsworth Common, Surrey, and his will was proved by his widow Mary in December of that year. Mary Jecks died nine years later in 1914 at Streatham, granting executorship of her estate to her son Reginald Percy Jecks, a professional singer.

 

In correspondence with the author written between 1977 and 1981, Horatio's grandson, Edward Jecks, readily shared memories and photos of his Jecks family:

​

"After my Uncle Horace emigrated to America, before I was born, all contact seems to have been lost with him.  My father Albert Edward Jecks followed him in 1904, and I was born 26-5-1904 in Southampton, prior to their embarkation.  I spent the first 5-6 years of my life in U.S.A. traveling with my parents all over the States, and my sister was born in Boston, Mass.  On our return to the UK about 1910, we went to live in Derby for several years, near my Mother’s family, and this is where I first commenced my schooling.  We did not move down to South London (Streatham) until about 1912-13.  But by that time my grandfather Horatio had left Nutfield Lodge and moved to Streatham Hill, Lambeth, and this is where I believe he died.

 

Regarding my father, as far as I know, he was born in the family house (Nutfield Lodge) 20 September 1875, and died whilst on service in India, Captain with a Burmese Company of the Royal Army Service Corp.

​

Uncle Reginald left no family ... Uncle Charles, who passed the family business on to his stepson, left no children, and died in the Marylebone district of London about [1946].

 

Uncle Ethelbert I remember vaguely, when we paid several visits to him and his family in Leigh-on-Sea Essex.  He had one son and one daughter, at that time, and, as far as I can remember, they were about the same age as myself about 8-10 yrs old in 1912-14.

 

Clara Jecks was my grand aunt, and was a well-known actress of her time.  I remember seeing her several times, as a very small child, after our return from the States.  After her death, my sister, who happened to be working in the vicinity, went to the memorial service held for her by the theatrical profession, in London.

 

Regarding my Uncle Charles – the Eileen you mention was adopted, but the sister Lilian (married name Thomas), was an Aunt of mine who lived in Franciscan Road, on Tooting Bec Common.  She died after my Uncle Charles, and was very close with my Uncle Reginald, who also died shortly after, and left no children.  By the way, my Aunt Lilian had no children either.

​

Albert Edward (b 1875). A few years later, Edward clarified in a letter that his father, Albert Edward Jecks, became a Captain in the Indian Army, Royal Army Service Corp., and was stationed at Jaytrud in the Khyber Pass, where he died on 18th April 1921.  He is buried in Deolali Military Cemetery near Bombay, India.  Captain Albert Edward Jecks was known as “prince”, after the royal prince of the same Christian name.  Based at Southampton in 1901, as said in his son’s letter, he moved north to Derbyshire where he married Lizzie Knight in 1903, before returning south.  Their two children were Edward Albert Jecks and Lilian Florence Jecks.  Years after her husband died in India, Lizzie remarried in Southport.  She died in Surrey in 1967.

 

Horatio Edgar Jecks, the second, named after his father, was referred to by Edward as “Horace Jecks”.  Horatio II did leave England, although he went to Canada, not the USA – it was quite common at the time for embarking passengers to simply say they were going to “America”, whether their destination was the USA or Canada. This was the second Jecks family known to have emigrated to Canada.   Horatio left England taking with him his family of four English-born young children. 

 

Ada Grace                              1898          Kensington

Horatio Edgar [III] (“Harry”)     1901         Brixton

Leonard Percy                        1903          Lewisham

Edwin Richard                        1906          Lewisham

And later a fifth:

Donavon Charles                    1908    in Sask, Canada

 

The son of Horatio III remembers that his father was only about 6 when they left England, and Edwin’s son remembers his father was only about 2.  They sailed in April 1907.  Donavon was born soon after the voyage was completed.  Sadly, he died of the flu in Lethbridge, Alberta in 1918, aged only 10.  Ada Grace Jecks married in 1918 to Edward Shear and, also unfortunately, died with her baby child in childbirth at Lethbridge, in 1918.  Leonard Percy Jecks married Grace Bargett and they died at Rossland, B.C. in 1975 and 1978, leaving Gladys, Donavon and Gordon.

 

The Jecks family arrived in Banff, a mountainous region of Alberta, and Horatio II became a Baggage Master for the Canadian Pacific Express railway and died during the second world war, in 1944.  The younger Horatio, like his father, also worked for C.P. Express in Alberta, becoming an Express Agent.  While in Alberta, Horatio III had two children, James Donovan Jecks, born in Lethbridge, Alberta on Christmas Eve 1925, and Eva Doreen Jecks, born in 1928 in McCloud, Alberta.  Eventually, he moved to Cranbrook in British Columbia.  Horatio died in 1966, and his wife, Margaret Washbrook (married 1923), in 1965. 

Horatio Edgar Jecks III hated his name, his son remembers, and gave his own son what he considered the much more palatable name of James.  James married Alma Marjory Nelson in 1946.  James lived in the city of Vancouver, and advised that his sister Eva lived on Vancouver Island.  James and Alma had four children: James Donavon, later of Calgary, Susan Marjorie of Vancouver (three sons), Robert Frederick of Halifax (two sons), and the youngest William Russell (“Bill” in the phone book) of Vancouver (a son and a daughter).  James’ son James Donavon Jecks jnr is the second with that name, after three in a row of Horatio Edgar Jecks, who were after two in a row of Charles James Jecks, who were after three in a row of Charles Jecks.  James recalls his cousin named Ramon Jecks (see Author’s Notes), who also lived in Vancouver.  He remembers Ramon’s father, Edwin.  James and Ramon are sources of information about Horatio and his family from the time the family left England.

​

Ramon Jecks retired to Vancouver.  Ramon’s father was Edwin Richard Jecks, born in England in 1906.  Edwin married Bertha Francis, and had two children, Ramon and Arlene Clare.  Edwin died 1982 in Sechelt, B.C.  Arlene Kyle (nee Jecks) has two children in British Columbia, Alexander and Susan.  Ramon (known as “Ray”) and his first wife Ruth Marie have a son Dean Andrew, born 1959, and two daughters, Corinne Susan born 1962 and Patricia Lynn born 1963.  Ramon is a keen genealogist, and with his second wife Sheila, kept in touch with his third cousin, Lilian Florence, known to her family as “Mary”.  Mary Boyse (nee Jecks), at the age of over 95 at the time, remained remarkably strong well into late life.

 

Concerning the other children of Horatio Edgar Jecks, the first of the name:

 

Marion Jecks, the eldest child, married David H Tompkins, a solicitor.  They had four children, of whom one died only two months old, in Surrey.  Marion Tompkins died in 1923.

 

Lilian Florence Jecks married Samuel Thomas.  They lived in Tooting, London, where Samuel died in 1914.  Lilian had no children.

 

Charles Herbert Jecks managed the family business in Billingsgate until his death in 1946.  His second wife, Georgianna Stevens, nee Mortlock, died in 1936.  At the time Charles’ will was dated (March 1941), he lived at Carlisle Place London SW1.  All except 50 of the shares in his business, Jecks Bros & Co Limited, were left to his brother Reginald Percy Jecks and Frank Dowling, his stepson (Frank had married Charles’s stepdaughter, Elsa Marion Stevens). 

 

The remaining 50 shares in Jecks Bros were left to his stepdaughter Elsa Dowling (nee Stevens) and to his granddaughter Gina Biscoe (daughter of stepdaughter Lily Stevens). Eileen Jecks his niece (daughter of Ethelbert Jecks) was left £100.  Charles’ sister Lilian Thomas was left £100 as well as the benefit of Charles’ house at 25 Franciscan Road Upper Tooting. 

 

Florence Minnie Jecks married Herbert Webb, who worked as a grain broker.  They lived in Wandsworth, Streatham.  She died in 1951 in Croydon, Surrey.

 

Alice Lavinia Jecks married Frank Holman Probert, a mining engineer, who resided in the Brixton/Kennington district of London.  They emigrated to California with their young son Aylwin (born 1901) in 1907, which was almost at the same time as others in the Jecks family accomplished a similar move.  However, they were divorced, and Aylwin remained with his father.  Alice married again to William Sellers and had six more children.  Her son Aylwin had two daughters, Margaret b1933 and Helen, b1935.  Aylwin’s granddaughter Lisa Richardson, one of Margaret’s three children, lived in Seattle, Washington State.  Helen has one son.

 

Ethelbert Jecks joined the British Army, like his brother Albert Edward.  Ethelbert married Ada Louise Davis in 1907, and a son, Dudley, was born a year later.  He was in the army during and after WW1 and subsequently travelled extensively in West Africa.  Ada and Ethelbert registered in Essex their second child, Eileen Margaret Jecks, in 1915.  He maintained a family home at Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, for a considerable time.  In 1928 an administration of the effects of Ada Louise Jecks of Leigh-on-Sea was granted to her husband Ethelbert Jecks, retired Major, HM Army.  In 1934 the will of Brian Ethelbert Jecks, of St Helena Island, was proved by the attorney of Ada Florence Jecks, widow. Ethelbert seems to have modified his name in his later years.  And Ethelbert’s wife, named Ada Louise Jecks, had predeceased him.

 

Reginald Percy Jecks’ widow was Vivian Jecks, nee Barrett, who remembered many of the family.  Vivian herself was a professional dancer, working under the stage name of Vera.  Vivian recalls that Reginald was considered a matinee idol of the day.  Reginald died in 1942.  His mother, Mary Ann Emma Jecks, had died in 1914, and Reginald, in Mary's will, was described as a professional singer.

 

 

Edward Albert Jecks, “Albert Edward” (b 1904), and Lilian Florence “Mary” Jecks (b 1906), children of Albert Edward Jecks (b 1875).

Upon his return to England before the Great War, Edward worked as a clerk in a shipping office in the port of London and was a member of The Duke of Westminster Rifles.  He married Emma Susanna Spokes in 1924 and they lived in Camberwell, London.  Their only son, Kenneth Edward Jecks, was born 23 May 1925. When Kenneth was about 6 months old the family went to live in Banbury and Edward worked for a timber merchant.

 

About 1929, the family moved to Holbrooke Lane, Coventry, where the timber company had a yard and a petrol filling station, which Edward managed.  The property included a house and here, their daughter Pauline Brenda was born in 1932.

 

About 1933, business turned bad and the yard closed down, so the family moved to Holyhead Road and Edward worked for a local car repair garage.

 

In 1938 he went to work for Armstrong Siddley, assembling aircraft engines and when his section was dispersed to Ulverston in Cumbria to escape the wartime bombing raids, the family had to move as well.  After the war, the family moved to

Southport and Edward worked at English Electric in Preston on diesel engines until he retired.

 

For some years he lived in Southport but moved to Brockham near Dorking where his wife Emily died in November 1974.  He then moved to Burnham on Sea where his daughter Pauline had settled and lived for a number of years before remarrying and moving to Wimbourne in Dorset.  Edward Albert Jecks lived there for a number of years until he died in February 1992. 

 

Less than a year before he died, Edward Jecks, son of Albert Edward, wrote to the author’s mother, Alice Johnston, nee Jecks, noting:

 

“I shall be 87 years of age in a couple of weeks’ time and I am afraid that my days of travelling abroad are just about over…” and added, “the Jecks family seems to be thriving well ‘down under’.   I am beginning to build up quite a picture of the Jecks family overseas having recently received some information from my sister [Lilian “Mary”] in Vancouver.  After the death of her husband (Cyril Boyse), she decided to go to Canada and live near her daughter, Pat, in Vancouver.

“Pat received a telephone call one day … and the caller said the name was JECKS … and it turned out they were the descendants of my uncle Horace, who emigrated to America at the beginning of this century and lost touch with his family in the UK.  It appears he finished up in Vancouver, where there is quite a large family of Jecks.”

 

Pat herself in a letter described the contact, which occurred in about 1988 while she was at a tennis club.  Pat “was absolutely amazed and told [the caller] that [Jecks] was my mother’s maiden name”.  The Vancouver telephone directory at the time contained three Jecks entries, all of whom are part of the Jecks family in this book.

 

After several moves with his parents, Kenneth Edward Jecks started work with Brockhouse Engineering, Southport, in January 1941 as an apprentice toolmaker making artillery ammunition limbers and rear gun turrets for Lancaster bombers.  In 1947 Kenneth was taken on as junior draughtsman in the district engineers office of the L.M.S. Railway at central station, Liverpool.  Kenneth married Vera Teare Shallcross in January 1948 and settled in Ormskirk where daughters Barbara and Irene were born.

 

During his career, Kenneth gained promotion from draughtsman to railway civil engineer, whilst in his leisure time he was active for a number of years with the local scout movement.  Kenneth Edward Jecks retired from the railways in 1985. 

 

In 1960 the family moved to Southport where Alan Jecks was born.  Kenneth Jecks and his wife Vera lived at Ainsdale, Southport where the three children were raised.  Alan is one of the wider Jecks family surviving today - he works in the Civil Service. He is married and lives around Southport, with two sons, who are among the 16th generation of Jecks counting from John Jekkys of Aslacton.

​

ALEXANDER GLENNIE JECKS

The fourth son of Charles James Jecks IV was Alexander Glennie Jecks. He lived with his father in 1841 before he married Jane Child in Bethnal Green in 1842, at the age of 28.  He was a Hatter by trade, and they lived in Maidstone, Kent for 10 years.  The couple emigrated to Melbourne, Australia in 1852. Alexander and Jane died in Melbourne in 1888 and 1909, respectively, apparently without children.

 

WILLIAM HENRY JECKS

The fifth and youngest son of Charles James Jecks (snr) was William Henry Jecks, who was christened in 1827 at the age of about eleven.  His marriage certificate (see next page) of 1843 shows him to have been “of full age” and that he was a “Hatter”, a profession that would be followed by his son.  Both he and his bride Sophia Emma Rickcord lived at North Street, Newington at the time of their marriage.  It appears that William Henry Jecks had lived, perhaps boarded, at the address of his future in-laws for some time.  The 1841 census includes an entry for W.H. Jecks’s future family in North Street, headed by Mary Rickcord, with two of her children and Henry (without his first name, “William”) Jecks also living there.  At the next address in North Street lived Wm Williams, the witness to Henry's future marriage.

​

Ten years later in the next census William (reverting to his first Christian name) Jecks was living at 15 Brook Place, Southwark.  He indicates that his place of birth was St Lukes Parish Middlesex, and the birth-place of his two surviving children demonstrates that the family had moved from North Street to Brook Place in 1849.  At the same address was the now elderly Mary Rickcord with her still unmarried 28 year-old daughter Georgeinna.

​

William Henry Jecks’s only son known to have left Jecks children, William, was born at Brook Place in 1852 - his first three children all died young.  William H Jecks moved yet again before his youngest son was born, this time to 8 Gloucester Place in Camberwell.  However, he remained in his original profession: in 1858 he describes himself as a "Hatter/journeyman".  The St Catherine’s House Registers show that William Henry Jecks and Sophia Rickcord had seven children:

 

Frederick William       born Newington           1845

Alexander William       Newington                  1846

Frederick                     Newington                  1848

Lydia                           Newington                  1850  }

Lydia                           Southwark                  1850  } dup

William                        Southwark                  1852

Sophia                         Southwark                  1855

Henry                          Camberwell                 1858

 

Lydia's birth was registered twice for whatever reason.  The register of deaths indicates that the first three sons died young:

 

Frederick William        Newington                  1845

Alexander William       Southwark                  1850

Frederick                     Southwark                  1857

 

Each of the two daughters married in the London area:

 

Lydia Jecks      Strand      1870  to George Bond

Sophia Jecks    St Olave  1872  to Frederick Horwood

 

Lydia Bond’s husband, over time, had several different occupations.  They had a large family in Bermondsey and Lewisham in Surrey.  She died in 1911 in Lewisham.  Sophia and Frederick Horwood initially lived in Southwark, where their children were born.  After spending several years in Swansea, Wales, they returned to Lewisham, where Sophia died in 1935.

 

The youngest child, Henry Jecks, married Martha Roberts in 1881.  They had only one daughter, Annie, in 1891, who became a piano teacher, and married in 1917.  Henry and Martha both died in Essex, in 1936 and 1940, respectively.  

 

William Henry Jecks died early in 1861 at Camberwell, registered at GRO as "Jakes".  His wife Sophia died in 1879 in Southwark.  Thus it was left to their son William Jecks to carry on the Jecks name for this part of the family. 

 

William Jecks first married Jemima Pointon, when they were both aged about 23.  However, Jemina died some ten years later, in 1884, at Deptford aged 32, after bearing eight children.  As it turned out, none of William’s sons by his first marriage to Jemima left any male Jecks sons.

 

(Elizabeth) Amy         born Holborn             1874

Ellen Sophia               Pancras, London     1874 (Dec)

William Joseph           Greenwich                1875

Florence Minnie          Greenwich               1877

Sophia Emma             Greenwich               1879

Mabel Winifred           Greenwich                1880

Henry Frederick          Greenwich               1883

James George            Greenwich, born & died 1884

​

Mabel Winifred Jecks was born at Angus Street, Deptford in 1880. Her birth certificate shows that her father William was a hatter, like his father before him.  Mabel married Josiah Wright in 1904 and had three children:

 

Florence Mabel Jecks Wright                         1906

Alexandra Bessie Wright                                1908

Leslie Josiah Jecks Wright                             1918   

 

Mabel was very interested in her family’s background and two of her children were given the name Jecks to ensure the name was not lost.  Her daughter Florence Jecks, later Mrs de Valmency, lived in Manningtree, Essex, with her daughter Vivienne Carey.  Both continued to show an interest in the old family history.  Florence recalls that her cousins were connected with the Navy through marriage.  Leslie, the only son, always signed his name as Jecks-Wright, and was listed in the phone book under that name at his address in Framlingham, Suffolk.  He wrote in 1977:

 

"My grandfather was a hatter.  He was concerned in making silk hats and he died before I was born.   He lived at 752 Old Kent Road, Peckham London. My mother had several brothers and sisters but I have lost touch with them for over 40 years and can't say where any of them are at the moment.  There was Amy, Florrence, Sophie, Fred, and I believe a Willie who went to the South African war and was killed out there.  Florrence also went to South Africa and married very late in life."

 

The Registers of Deaths relating to Service personnel during the time of the Boer War confirms that a W(illiam Joseph) Jecks of the Northumberland Fusiliers was one of the casualties of 1899.

 

"Uncle Fred was married and had one daughter called Queenie who is now married.  Amy married.  She was a nursing Sister and probably had 4 children but no other information.  Sophie married and had I believe three sons. One was nicknamed Punch. When I went to visit Aunt Sophie it was somewhere in Forest Hill, South London. My father was Josiah Wright but my mother’s maiden name was Mabel Winifred Jecks.  She did not want to lose the name Jecks so I was christened Leslie Josiah Jecks-Wright.  I had two sisters but no brothers.  One sister Alexandra is dead, no children.  I have one son Christopher and one daughter Virginia who is married and lives in Los Angeles, California."

 

Henry Frederick (“Fred”) Jecks married Alice Stone and did indeed have a daughter named Queenie.  They had no other children.  The Jecks name from William Jecks therefore ended with “Uncle Fred”, other than as continued by Mabel Winnifred Jecks.  Elizabeth Amy was a nurse – she married Edwin Roycroft in 1903 and had one more than the four children recalled by Leslie Jecks-Wright.  Sophia married Sydney Edgar and lived in the Thornton Heath / Croydon area (which is a little south of Forest Hill) in the early 1900s.  They had at least four children, one of whom was a son.  Florence Minnie Jecks was living with her parents at their home in Deptford in 1901.  A year later, she is a passenger on the ship Braemar Castle bound for South Africa.

 

Many stories were passed down to Leslie Jecks-Wright concerning the origin and history of the name Jecks centering on the name Jacques, a family of French origins.  Leslie’s daughter Virginia records that Leslie died in 1988 and Florence in 1995.  At that time, Virginia’s brother Christopher was living in Sacramento with his wife and two sons.  Virginia lives in California, and like others in her family, shows a strong interest in the Jecks family around the world.

 

With a family of six young children, William Jecks married for the second time in 1886 to Emily Dudley.  The pair looked after the children of William's first marriage and had a further five children, all born in Greenwich:

 

George Pink Rickcord            1887

Ernest Dudley                         1888

Albert Charles                         1889

Reginald Alfred                       1894  died 1894

Emily Dorothy                         1895

 

William and his second wife both died in Deptford, William in 1904 aged 52, and Emily in 1927.  Emily appointed her son George Pink Jecks, a cashier, as the executor of her estate, and her address remained as Ventnor Road, New Cross, Surrey, where she had lived for many decades.

 

Their only daughter, Emily Jecks (known as Mary), never married but at the time of writing the First Edition of this Jecks Genealogy lived in South East London.  She confirmed that both Ernest and Albert died leaving no children.  Albert married Edith Arnett and died in Bromley, Kent, in 1964.  Ernest married Grace Chapman and died in 1976, in Farnam, Surrey.

 

The eldest son, George Pink Rickcord Jecks, was survived by his only son Roy George (Peter) Jecks, who wrote,

 

"My father George Pink Rickcord Jecks was named after his uncle (I think) who was George Pink Rickcord and was the chief paymaster to the Navy (Actually my father said he was meant to be christened George Pink but the surname Rickcord slipped out from his Godfather accidentally & was so recorded - he always signed himself G P Jecks)." 

 

There certainly was a George Pink Rickcord – he was related to Sophia Emma Rickcord, George P. R. Jecks's grandmother.  G. P. Rickcord was one of Sophia’s brothers.  Peter Jecks leaves a number of Jecks grandsons through his four sons, Alan, Clive, Keith, and Michael.

 

In the early twenty-first century Alan lived in Wellington, New Zealand and owned an insurance brokerage business, and has been President of the Independent Insurance Brokers Association of New Zealand.  Alan Jecks met Brian Jecks, the author's first cousin (see Book 2), by mere chance, when a travel agent erroneously thought they were brothers, and sat them together for their journey.  In fact, they are 8th cousins 1 x removed, and Isaac Jecks of Crownthorpe is their common ancestor.

The youngest of the four brothers, Michael, is a published author, and details of his publications can be seen at www.michaeljecks.co.uk.   His books were described as 'The most wickedly plotted medieval mystery novels' by The Times reviewer, and Michael is described on his website as “The master of the medieval murder mystery.”  Michael is married and lives with his family in Devon.  Clive is in the information technology business and has worked in senior positions for firms such as IBM and Wang.  Keith Jecks is an Actuary and investment consultant, whose interests extend to cars and motor sport.

As to the daughters of Charles James Jecks jnr., or Charles V:

 

Eleanor Elizabeth Jecks was the eldest daughter of Charles James Jecks. In 1843, in Hounslow, west of London, she married Thomas Cramp, a Miller by trade.  They had seven children, the last of whom was born after Thomas died in December 1867.  He was buried in Ealing, in the west of London.  Eleanor died in Fulham and was also buried in Ealing Cemetery.

 

Rebecca Lloyd Jecks, named after her grandmother, died aged only 11 years and was buried at St James Westminster, London, albeit her name was incorrectly written into the Register as “Jacks”.

 

Emily Charlotte Jecks.  Her first husband was William Wright, born in Norfolk, a builder and architect.  They were married in London and had five children, the first born in Lambeth, London, and the other four in Swaffham, Norfolk, where they lived for some time.  At least one of the children was christened with the third given name of “Jecks”, although the child died aged less than one year.  William died in 1883, soon after his return to the west end of London about 1880.  For a reason not entirely clear, William Wright’s family name became Wright-Broughton”. 

 

In 1888, Emily Wright-Broughton married for the second time in Westminster, London, at the age of 49.  Her husband was Major General Coote Synge-Hutchinson, a 55 year-old bachelor.  They lived in fashionable St James, Westminster, the west end of London, until the retired General died in 1902.  Emily died in Piccadilly, in 1929.
