The following notes are from John Boyce, William Edmund's grandson.

Edmund died in about 1945. I can remember the day when, early one morning, Dad told me. The Exmouth business passed to my uncle, Arthur Boyce, after 1945 and his daughter Sybil worked in the shop for many years. It was then sold, and the premises are now a fishing tackle shop.
WIlliam Edmund left his estate of £7000 to his son George William Boyce and to his son in law George William Leonard Lickfold (tax officer).
Edmund's wife was Ellen, according to a family tree one of my younger cousins has given me. She died before WW2 and I do not remember meeting her, though I have a photo of her. Ellen Boyce, my grandmother, was daughter of a naval captain named Robert Hore (he was infact George).
