Brock children's maternal cousin Fred Pegram , was also a member of the school. The Brock children Alice Emma (18681896) Alice Emma Brock was born at 139 Leighton Road, Kentish Town, North London, on 1 January 1886. She was both the eldest of the Brock children and the shortest lived of them, dying at twenty-eight. She has left very few traces. She died in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk on 24 July 1896. She died from peritonitis exhaustion at East View, Cliff Hill, Gorleston, Great Yarmouth. Her brother Thomas was with her when she died. Charles Edmund (18701938) Charles Edmund Brock was the eldest, and the most successful, of the Brock brothers. He was born at the family home at Hampden Road, Holloway, London, England on Saturday 5 February 1870. Like his brothers, Charles was educated first at St Barnabas junior and infant school, before moving to the Boys' Higher Grade School which all of this brothers attended in their turn. C. J. Smith, the third headmaster of the Higher Grade School noted that the Brocks were the most famous of its pupils, and that early drawings and paintings by Charles were among his most prized possessions. Charles did not feature in prize days at the school as much as his younger brothers did, but where he did shine was at the Cambridge School of Art. Here he won prizes for painting, chalk drawing, painting and drawing from life etc. Charles had at least some art training from the talented Cambridge sculptor Henry Wiles (183811 August 1930) who was a near neighbour of the Brocks when they lived in North Terrace. There is no evidence of Charles doing any sculpture, and he did do portraits of Henry Wiles and his father, the stone-mason John Wiles (18121908). Charles also attended the Cambridge School of Art, as did his three brothers, and at least one sister (Katharine). On 25 September 1902, Charles married Annie Dudley Smith (13 September 187915 December 1959) at the St. Andrew's Street Baptist Chapel. On returning from their honeymoon, the couple lived at Cranford at 38 Grange Road, Cambridge, where he was to remain until his death. The couple had no children. Kirkpatrick lists nearly 270 books or sets of books (such as the 30 volume Thackeray) that were illustrated by Brock. This was only part of his output. He also illustrated magazines, and painted portraits, mostly of leading Cambridge
