Hello Listers, This item from Saunders News Letter, Dublin, reported an astonishing event in the town of Strabane, Co. Tyrone:
December 18 1810 MARRIAGE – On the 9th inst. at Strabane, by the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, JAMES COOPER to WIDOW KEYS, both of that town – the former is ninety years of age and the latter thirty. The bridegroom, by reason of his debility, was supported by a Gentleman Barber to and from the altar of Hymen, amid a concourse of three or four hundred spectators, who attended to witness the ceremony, which was announced by several vollies of musquetry. It is reported that another lady in the same town is very melancholy, as she had foolishly rejected the proposal of becoming his spouse. (Saunders News Letter) Truly astonishing! Wishing all a Happy Easter and a relaxing holiday and please stay safe in these strange times, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList Mailing List Mailing List Email Address: [email protected] Change Your Preferences: http://cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com Mailing List Archive: https://goo.gl/mQCKrY
