Just been looking through some parish records, and found the following notes which made me smile: William Pay - died a married man - not cold when buried! Henry Smith - died a married man - managed 32 yrs of age - died suddenly! Nicholas Strong - died 104 yrs - not married!! Have still to check the marriage entries - perhaps I'll find some more eclesiastical comments from the Priest on the perils of marriage! Jacqui

I wonder if the wives live longer once they'd gotten rid of their husbands! :0) -Kat

I am redoing my family history website. I think I will add a page for all these little gems. Jacqui, may I keep this one ready, and do you want your name mentioned as the one who found it. Can you remember the area it came from please?
