From an article in "The Essex Family Historian", May 2002.
According to a report in the Chelmsford Chronicle, on the 8th of July 1808 a vessel belonging to Mr William Murrell of Hullbridge, Hockley, was on its return from Northfleet to Hullbridge in the evening of Wednesday se'nnight, when near the Whitaker beacon, a sudden squall occasioned a wave to break over the same, which washed the son of Mr Murrell (a boy, 12 years of age) overboard and he was drowned. The body of the infortunate youth has not since been found.
This advertisement appeared on the front page of the same issue and read: If the body of Charles Murrell a lad of about 12 years of age, who was washed overboard on Wednesday the 29th ult. near the Whitaker beacon, should be found, it is requested that the same be carefully conveyed to his father, Mr William Murrell, of Hullbridge, Hockley, Essex, who will pay a reward of 10 guineas - the said youth was dressed in a blue jacket, striped waistcoat and canvas trowsers (sic).
There was no report in the newspaper that the body was found, but Philip Benton's "History of Rochford Hundred" (1873) refers to a gravestone in St Peter's Hockley, which records the burial on 19th July 1808 of Charles Murrell 'lost in a heavy gale of wind in the Swin.... and his body being found at Harwich"
