   Thank you.   
      
   Yes, Foxlowe was the residence. There's a picture of it here:

   They moved out in 1914, and went to Bournemouth.   
      
   I haven't yet attempted to research the servants, though that would be an   
   interesting thing to do. The family were only second-generation wealthy, and I   
   wouldn't be at all surprised to find all sorts of family ties.
