Another instalment from 'The Times', August 7th 1858

Some births and marriages today:

On the 17th June last, at Guanaxato, Mexico, the wife of William

A. Jones, Esq., of a daughter.

On the 23d July, at da Fundo, Lisbon, the wife of Thos. Creswell

Esq., of a daughter.

On the 3d inst., at 13, Loughborough-road, Brixton, the wife of

Joseph S. Rimington, Esq., Bombay Medical Establishment,

H. E. I. C. S., of a daughter.

Fascinating - the names, the locations (Brixton, posh?) and the occupations. Most interestingly, the mothers and children aren't named - they're just for showing off the man's virility, though it's possibly that children weren't named until later, due to the high incidence of child mortality.

Let's try some marriages. Still very pompous, aspirational, snobbish and male-oriented, but fascinating anyway:

On the 3d inst., at Tenby, by the father of the bride, William Hast-

ings Hughes, Esq., fourth son of the late John Hughes, M. A., of the

Priory, Donnington, Berks, and of Boltons, West Brompton, to Emily

Adelaide, eldest daughter of the Rev. George Clark, M. A., rector of

Tenby, Pembrokeshire.

On the 4th inst., at St. Lawrence Church, Thanet, Kent, by the Rev.

R. C. Brackenbury, A. M., rector of Brocklebury, Lincolnshire, chaplain

to the Earl of Yarmouth, assisted by Rev. F. G. Haslewood, S C. L.,

curate, Captain H. T. Howell, of the East Kent Militia, only son of

Captain Howell, R. N., of Spring-grove, Jersey, to Phoebe, second

daughter of the Rev. G. W. Sicklemore, of Cleve, vicar of St. Lawrence.

Now for some deaths, redolent of Empire:

On the 25th May, from the effects of sunstroke, Lieut. George Henry

Haynes, 7th Hussars, on his passage home from Calcutta, eldest son of

the late Mr. Haynes, of Lambeth, Surrey, having survived his father

only six months, most deeply lamented by his family and friends.

Cotton Lewin, Esq., Madras Civil Service, aged 28.
