Emily Brutnell (née Brown) (1854 – 29 June 1935)
Emily was born in West Wickham and was the daughter of Thomas and Sarah. Thomas Brown was a labourer and Emily grew up at Streatley End. In 1871 she was working as a domestic servant for Rev. John Lees at the Rectory in West Wratting, and in 1881 was cook for William and Anne Bond at 3 Brookside.
Emily married James Brutnell in 1886 and they had three children: Private Thomas (1885-1918), Leonard (1887-1963) and Frank (1890-1890). James was a carpenter/joiner and the family lived at 20 Eden Street (1891), 37 Market Hill (1901) and 36 Trinity Street (1911). Emily ran a lodging house from Market Hill and the couple later rented out appartmenet from Trinity Street.
James Brutnell (1855 – 8 March 1924)
James was born in Goadby Marwood, six miles north of Melton Mowbray and baptised there on 9 September 1855. He was the son of carpenter Thomas Brutnell and Mary and also worked as a carpenter. It is believed that James died in Lincolnshire and was buried there. He was 68 years old when he died [although his grave monument states 66 years].
