The Vicar of Wellsworth has two sons. The eldest son is named Charles Laxey Jr.
Biography[]
After Edward begged the Vicar to buy Trevor from the scrapyard, the Vicar's two sons accompanied their father to the scrapyard where Jem Cole put Trevor through his paces, while the boys pleaded with their father excitedly, leading the Vicar to buy him. At the time, the younger son was six year old, while the eldest son was eight years old.[2]
The eldest son had followed his father into the Holy Orders and was lucky enough to be offered the living of Wellsworth on his father's retirement, so Trevor still lives at the Vicarage. Thanks to earlier tuition by Jem Cole, the eldest son has become an able driver and mechanic in his own right. The younger son, after obtaining a First in English at Oxford, joined the publishing firm of Chatter & Windows in Suddery and has worked his way up to the post of Editorial Manager.[1]

Official Description[]
From Official Media:[1]
| “ | The Vicar of Wellsworth (b1920): The Rev'd Charles Laxey, a cousin of the late Rev'd Peter Dreswick, Vicar of Arlesburgh. In 1954, when he purchased Trevor the Traction Engine from the Wellsworth scrapyard, he was a youngish man with sons of 8 and 6. His final appearance in the Series was in Thomas and the Twins and shortly after that he retired with his wife to a cottage on the outskirts of Brendam; it stands near the railway, so he is able to maintain his acquaintanceship with Edward and his crew. The elder of the boys followed his father into Holy Orders and was lucky enough to be offered the living of Wellsworth on his father's retirement, so Trevor still lives at the Vicarage there. Thanks to earlier tuition by Jem Cole, Trevor's current owner has become an able driver and mechanic in his own right. The younger son, after obtaining a First in English at Oxford, joined the publishing firm of Chatter & Windows (still, we are glad to say, unabsorbed into a conglomerate) and has worked his way up to the post of Editoral Manager. | ” |
