From information kindly sent to me by her daughter-in-law Kathleen Keefler-Kinch: After they married, Violet and Bunny lived in Mesopotomia for a year - my husband Dr. Robert Arthur High Kinch was born on June 21, 1920 while they were living in Kut. They then moved to India where Commander Kinch become a Commodore and was in charge of the Bombay Port Trust which looked after all the maritime traffic into Bombay Harbous and the lighthouses. They lived on Malabar Hill in Bombay...and spent a lot of time at the races.

Their daughter Diana Mary Kinch (Fox) and son Bernard William Sherston were born in India - Diana in Simla and Bernard in Bombay. The three children were born within a three year period.... Violet was in her late thirties when she had her first child in the midst of the sands of Mesopotamia...no small wonder she spent a lot of her time at the races after moving to India and then having two more babies.

During World War 11 Commodore Kinch was in charge of the R and R lodge for officers in the Nilgiris Hills. They returned to England just after the division of Indian into India and Pakistan in 1947 and retired to Somerset.

Violet is buried in the cemetary at St. Giles. Commodore Kinch died in Bath - my husband thinks there is a stone to his memory at St. Giles. Their daughter Diana Kinch Fox died several years ago and there is a stone to her memory in the cemetary at St. Giles

(from John Newman): Katherine Charlotte Jekyll (1884-1963). Never married. Great horsewoman. Kept house for her mother in Barnstaple till the latter's death in 1930, and then went as companion to a succession of old ladies. Killed in a car accident, (not her fault).

From Heather Cuthbertson - grand-daughter of Claude Newman, April 2003: "Mollie talked about Auntie Vi, Claude's sister who married Bunny Kinch (Claude called him rabbit.) They had three children, Robert, Diana Fox and Bernard (Bill). She said Bill went to India for a holiday from school and had to stay over during the war. He joined the Dogras with various adventures then returned to England. Mollie told the delightful story of Bill's coming to lunch on Thursday and staying till Monday. On the Saturday, they took him to a ball wearing clothes borrowed from all and sundry and trousers from George (they can't have been married at the time). And when Mollie went to give the trousers back she found a small tear on the leg so she made a very fine nearly invisible repair. However, when next George wore those trousers he said, "Where's my tear?" It was he and not Bill who had made it. The other thing is the Patricks, her cousins in Australia, they are cousins on the Cock side, her mother's people.
