Rectory Lane Cemetery, Berkhamsted

Cyril Herbert Charles was born to Charles Kingham and Jane Miller in 1900, who already had a daughter, aged 5, Violet Jane.  His father was a baker.

He never married but lived with his sister into old age.

I remember my father’s cousin’s, Cyril and Violet, very well. They were both unmarried and shared No. 7 Chapel Street. Cyril was the Chief Clerk in the National Westminster Bank at Berkhamsted and Violet lived at home caring for the house.  I regularly used to visit her and she taught me to sew and embroider. We moved into 109 High Street after the war and I used to walk down Manor Street to visit them.
