The BNA has a number of references to MARTIN, Chaxhill which likely refer to the family. They are mostly small ads where they are looking for staff (1901), discontinuing Christmas boxes (1903), advertising flour (1904) or announcing the birth of a daughter (1904). The last two are 22/10/1904 (where they are selling a horse) and 28/11/1904 (where they are seeking information about the disappearance of two ewes from Walmore Hill. There are no more references after this although the publications seem to be covered in later years.

There is also this from the Gloucester Citizen – Monday 16 July 1906

CONFECTIONERS – Young Man seeks Re-engagement; well up in everything, piping, fancies etc. SHEEN, Chaxhill, Nr, Newnham, Glos.

Perhaps he was employed by the MARTINs and was without a post when they left?

He may have landed on his feet though,
