    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 12 Nov 2014)
      Shown as aged 9 months, died of small pox.

      Clearly died in a small pox epidemic; the eight burials on the same page in the burial register all show 'small pox' in the margin as the cause of death, and the burials were of children aged 5 months to 5 years, buried between 23 Oct and 19 Nov.
      Three on the previous page, 18 and 19 Oct, aged 8 months to 7 years.
      Next page, 19 to 29 Nov: all but one small pox, of which 6 aged 2 months to 2 years, one aged 28.
      Next page, 29 Nov to 6 Dec: all but one small pox, aged 8 months to 9 years.
      Next page, margin not clear but I think 1st 3 only small pox, 11 to 18 Dec: aged 2, 6 and 22 years.
      Next page, just one small pox, 6 Feb: aged 4 months.
      Next page, just one small pox, 29 Mar: aged 18 months.
      Next page, just one small pox, 14 April: aged 5 years.
      No more recorded during the year.

      At present I am guessing James is a child of this marriage based on his middle name and date and place of birth.
