William and Mary Endall nee Buttress
William Endall was the fourth child of eight of John, a gamekeeper, and Mary nee Hemming. His birth was registered at Kenilworth in the second quarter of 1844, when his name was incorrectly given as Endle. The family were living in Albion Row, Kenilworth, in 1851.
William must have moved to Bedfordshire some time after that as his residence was given as Studham, Bedfordshire, when he married Brandon girl Mary Buttress at Wolston on 28 September 1864.The couple went on to have three children, the first being born at Studham but the second at Offchurch in 1868, revealing that he had moved back to Warwickshire by then. In the 1871 census the family were at Berkswell, where William was gamekeeper at Beech Wood; ten years later he was gamekeeper living at Cox Hill, near the Old Lodge i.e. the Stoneleigh Abbey Gatehouse. Ten years later and they lived at The Kennels, William still being a gamekeeper, and in fact at the time of his death on 29 January 1897 the local newspaper reported that he had been head gamekeeper for Lord Leigh for 14 years, until his retirement the previous February. He was buried at Stoneleigh on 3 February.
Mary Endall nee Buttress was the daughter of a Wolston labourer, John Buttress, and his wife Jane nee Whiteman. She had seven siblings. After her husband's death in 1897 she could be found in the 1901 census at 5 Vicarage Road, Stoneleigh, living on her own means. She died on 25 October 1905 and was buried on 28 October.
