• Note

  'Born at Tizapan, Mexico on 8 October 1856. After Cheltenham, CWL seems to have lived in style on the income he received from the investments his father, AFL, gave him. I have seen no records of him ever having a job. For their honeymoon, I was told that he and Violet A West, who he married on 21 June 1900, went travelling in China for a year. When they returned they brought back with them all sorts of Chinese treasures, some of which, including a bed, ended up after Violet's death, at the British Museum.. CWL died in London and is buried at Highgate Cemetery. '
