Obituary Notices and Marital Alliances Across Elite Britain
A column rich with deaths of notable figures and a dense record of marriages. It notes Lady Annabella’s lineal ties to Viscount Glenorchy and Grey, Lady Jemma’s marriage to the Earl of Athburnham, and Lady Anne’s union with Lord Cavendish, linking to the Duke of Devonshire. Major Wallingford’s death follows a life in Parliament and the Guards, with his widow noted as near death from smallpox. Other deaths include Mrs Minshul, Capt. Thomas Marwood, and Edward Ventris, plus Richard Witkin and Rev Dr Robinson. The piece also reports robberies between Bath and Gloucester, naval and colonial dispatches from Bombay and Gombroon, a storm risk in Bengal, and various society marriages such as Sir Robert Clifton to Miss Lombe, Sir Robert’s move to Cliftop, and other weddings. Additional items cover races at Farringdon, a fray with Excisemen, and a Canterbury assault case. The era’s social web is threaded through by figures like Princess of Wales, Dukes, Earls, and merchants, with notices of ships, captains, and East India Company ventures.
