    They're great, Robyne! I do feel sorry for John Burley and his "head in sores", though :o

      It must have been awful! there was also a lot of marriages to men to "the daughter of..", i guess these women didnt merit their names being mentioned!! In some instances it does give a lot of information about them, especially the people who walked to a fair and died. that seemed to happen a lot, i dont think i would have gone anywhere in those days!

        That sounds like Catalepsy - or a variant of Narcolepsy. I remember a TV programme about a young woman who collapsed whenever she laughed.

        Or maybe the excitement/effort of laughing just brought on a heart attack.

          This is the one that made me smile - having a fling at last?

            It made me smile how they must have looked down on it! they also put on things like they married in April and their child was born in September. There was also one about a man who went to London to get married and died on the morning of the wedding, travel must have been an absolute no-no in those days!
