the upper abdomen with a rising of watery liquid into the mouth
Samuel Death married Mary Ann Gosling on the 11th July 1805 in St
Marys Church becoming Mary Ann Death,

Headstone reads:-
Sacred
To the Memory of
Samuel Death
who died Jan 29 1845
Aged 65 years
Also
of
Mary Ann his wife
who died Oct 20 1844
Aged 63 years
Strange Mary dies before Samuel and yet she
is underneath his name on the stone
I think the scenario was that she died and they were waiting for
the ground to settle before putting on the stone. I think the suggested
waiting time is around 6 months. Samuel then dies 3 months later.
They put up headstone at the time when they are both deceased,
so put the man first.

Acknowledgment to Tony Brown of Devon,

Genealogy:-
(2) Samuel (Jnr) , the blacksmith in
the above article
Samuel and Mary had five children, Elizabeth, Catherine, Samuel, John,
and Mary Anne.
One of Samuel’s daughters (Mary Ann)
married ‘Samuel Brown’ who was a Stonemason in Sudbury and that
is when the ‘Browns’ joined the ‘Deaths’
His two sons were also blacksmiths. Samuel
who stayed in Bures and John who moved around according to the census
moving eventual to Sudbury.
Elizabeth another daughter married Daniel
Claydon a blacksmith and they were in Monks Eleigh and Chelsworth
=========================================================
(1) Samuel (Father)
Samuel Death Snr, married Elizabeth Howard
in 1779 and they had 7 children. One of which is our Samuel Jnr (In the
grave). Another one is Isaac which I believe to be the other Death mentioned
as a Blacksmith adjoining the Great Maltings and the Crown Yard.
The Great Maltings and the Crown Yard where
located in the High Street behind the Crown Public House
He then married Catherine Woolman in 1791
after Elizabeths death in 1791 and they had a further 2 children. It may
be that Elizabeth dies in childbirth as I have a child being born and
dying in 1791 as well. I suppose with young children Samuel needed a replacement
wife ASAP.
