Notes for Charles Lestock (Spouse 1)
According to BBB15:
“b at Alcester, Warwicks, 1800. Commissioned 2 Lt 95th Foot (Rifle Bde) 1814 but is shown on returns as 'on leave at the Military College' (Sandhurst) until his 16th birthday. Lt 1821; Capt 1824; Major 1835. No active service.

He m 2nd, in 1836 Margaret, dau of William Stirling and widow of Claudius Kerr, EIC and they had a dau Mary Elizabeth iii. In 1845 this marriage was dissolved (there was a court case in 1844, in which Charles accused Margaret of adultery), and in 1848 he m 3rd, Maria, dau of Edward Denham. There was no issue of this marriage.
He d at Castelnau, Barnes in 1889, and was buried at Little Bookham, Surrey. (See also Section 'Castelnau - Barnes').”
Apparently15, the third wife was his daughter’s former governess, and the rest of the family did NOT approve. Charles went into real estate heavily, and constructed a big sub-development (as it would now be called, I suppose) in the northern part of the borough of Barnes. The names are typical; Castelnau Villas, Castelnau Row, Castelnau Place, and Gothic Cottages. Yuk. In that area there is still a Boileau Road, and road was renamed Castelnau. More details in BBB15
