Event Note
The Rugeley Times article shows David's father working at a school in Lichfield, therefore the residence of "Lichfield" in that article must refer to the parents, and the residence of "Newton Abbott" in the Lichfield Mercury article must refer to David. Therefore, the residence of Maryland, Friary Ave, must refer to both Mary and her parents, as it is mentioned in both articles. |
