Body found after Easter loss leads to grave dig up
The body of a young woman lost coming from Greenwich on Easter Tuesday was identified only after burial due to torn clothes. Her father, living in Tooley Street, later had her remains exhumed at Greenhithe after learning another body had been buried, recognizing her by a shoulder mark and the name on her buckles. The article also notes various court and public notices, crimes, royal appointments, and international dispatches from the era.
