By the late fifties Martin and Parlophone had discovered some success with comedy information that includes the likes of Peter Sellers and Flanders & Swann, however musical success remained elusive. The burial register for Southwell records that she was buried there on twelfth November; the vicar in attendance being Morgan Watkins. More often than not, though, it will probably symbolize a craving for consideration, either socially or from your companion, says Morgan. I had lent him throughout the spring and autumn of 1815 the sum of a hundred and eighty pounds, which as an alternative of repaying me he subsequently embarked on his business, giving me a promissory notice from himself and his associate, and a bond and judgement in opposition to himself, to be levied upon his non-public property. Whether the Suttons, who had had eighty years loyal service from the Hodgkinsons instructed him to leave isn’t identified, but it surely is possible that this very rich family had been loath to pursue the backslider for what to them can be a trifling sum.
The Sutton Barrow that Mary Williams refers to above was the daughter of Mary, eldest daughter of George Hodgkinson senior and his spouse Mary. The eldest son, Thomas Sydney had married, on seventh April 1814, Caroline Heath, youngest daughter of Mr John Heath, a hosiery producer of Beeston, whom John Marsh had consulted in 1809 about his sister’s affairs. He had been for some time engaged to miss Coldham, the eldest daughter of an agent for a cotton manufactory at Nottingham, who died within the course of last 12 months; and the lady got here to Cheltenham on a go to to Sydney and his spouse, the place she was to have been married a couple of days solely earlier than the smash. Being informed within the autumn of this 12 months, that his circumstances had been embarrassed, I put the bond in pressure only some days earlier than a bankruptcy was declared; and as the products seized did not cowl my debt, my journey to Cheltenham was with a view to vote in the selection of assignees at his request; which however I did not do, he not finding himself sufficiently supported to ensure success in the election.

A yr later, in July 1825, Mary Williams and her daughter Catherine went to Hamburg to see Sydney and on their return stayed with ‘my nephew John’s at Holloway, with a Miss Bohrer that they had brought from Germany as a Missionary. In July 1826, John Marsh was In London, after considered one of his journeys to Kent to collect his rents, when he ‘had a go to from my Sister, niece Mary & nephew John, at whose house my Sister had been staying since she left Ramsgate, to which she had gone with my Son Edw’d & household about three weeks before in the steam boat, which conveyed his numerous family of 13 (together with three maids) with much ease. Further on she writes ‘As Edward has consented to stay here six months his time won’t be out till the end of July consequently I shall stay at residence (at?) Midsummer (If I ought to stay until that time)’; and later, in the identical letter, ‘We went yesterday, that’s Lydia and that i went with Sutton Barrow to pay a visit to the outdated Palace.
