    • "Smitham Blanche of Above Town Dartmouth Devonshire (wife of Richard Llewellyn Smitham) died 15 January 1898 Administration London 30 March to Emily Dora Smitham widow. Effects £300."

      It would appear that Blanche's husband hadn't fully tidied up her affairs when he died 24 years later in 1922, and so his widow Emily obtained a grant of administration to do so.

    • 1st attempt at entering the banns in the register on p.42, entry no. 209. It looks like there was some confusion over which parish Richard was 'of'. First entered as St. Petrox Dartmouth, then crossed out and 'Both' added before 'of this Parish', then the whole lot struck through and a fresh attempt made, the first entry on the next page - no. 211 on p.43 (no no. 210)
