The West Briton (Friday, 07 Feb 1851) published a thoroughly garbled account of a St. Ives marriage: > Marriages > > At St. Ives, on Monday last, Mr. William OWLES to Miss Grace TURAN, both > of that place. The groom was in fact Thomas OLD, shoemaker, who was born in Hampshire circa 1830, the son of William OLD. The bride was actually Mary TROON, baptized 20 Sep 1833 at St. Ives, the daughter of William TROON and his wife Prudence BENNETTS. However, the newspaper did manage to get the date correct. The St. Ives marriage register indicates that the event took place 03 Feb 1851, which corresponds to "Monday last." The marriage was registered at Penzance during 1Q1851.
