Death notice for the wife Jane Saul
DEATHS. BLACKWELL. - On the 29th November, at her residence, Bishopsbourne, Jane Saul, the beloved wife of Henry Blackwell, aged 53 years. (Cornwall and Melbourne papers please copy.)
Jane Saul is an unusual combination of names and I am speculating on the possibility the Jane Saul (MCCARTHY ) wife of Cornelius may have been another daughter of the above couple. There was an only son who died aged 17 in 1866.
The couple were married in Cornwall
Date 1853 in the district of Pinnock, St. Henry BLACKWELL and Jane Soul (sic) SCOLYER/SCOLYER. Witnesses were Franics BLACKWELL and George HICKS. Henry was blacksmith and a widower. Jane was spinster. Fathers' names are noted.
I have not been able to find any birth records.
jimnic can you possibly post a snip of the signature of the mother Jane Saul?
