A couple of deaths.........
16.2.1827 On Tuesday, in the Workhouse, Moretonhampstead, where he had been an inhabitant for 44 years, Edward Smale, aged 75.
20.4.1827 Tuesday last, at Teignmouth, at the advanced age of 108 years, Mr Robert Cotton. He retained his intellectual faculties till within the last year of his demise.
......and a couple of marriages, including an early 'toy-boy' ;)
25.5.1827 At Bideford, by the Rev. Wm. Walter, Mr William Rumson, of Combmartin, to Miss Ann Powe, daughter of Mr Robert Powe, Baker of Bideford, after a courtship, of 1 day, the parties first saw each other on Saturday morning, and were married on the Sunday morning following.
1.6.1827 On Saturday last, by the Rev. Luxmoore, in this Town [most probably Barnstaple, as that is where the paper was published], Mr William Dalling to Mrs Prudence Hopkins. This is the third time the blooming bride has visited the Shrine of Hymen and her age is a little short of three time that of her present bridegroom.
Can anyone lay claim to any of these? (As always, the date is the date of the paper)
Best wishes
Ann
