About the other child, I wonder if you missed seeing this from Priscilla :

If you Google "Exeter Cemetery Index" and click on Higher Cemetery you will find the index for the following interments:

Exeter Higher Cemetery
SEAWARD Charles Henry - Age 27 - Parish: St Lawrence - Locality: Sec A Div 276 No 39 - Depth 6 - Interment No: 10905 - Date of burial: 6.10.80 - Observations: Church 10894 Richards.
Interestingly enough the very next entry reads:
SEAWARD Mary - Age 92 - Parish: St Matthew - Locality: Sec A Div E/50 No 81 - Depth 6 - Interment No: 49619 - Burial: 5.2.40 - Observations: Church

Wonder if this is in fact husband and wife - not interred in the same grave ...

Exeter Higher Cemetery may be able to advise.

Do you have any children for Charles junior and his wife Lucy?
FreeBMD have listed between 1912 and 1920 two sons plus a set of twins - one son and one daughter.

Hicks (Devonport, Plymouth)
