The West Briton (Friday, 27 Aug 1858) apparently fell victim to some sort of confusion in its report of the following marriage: "At Madron ... and on Monday last, Mr. John Poole BLEWETT, TO Miss Jane REED, both of Penzance." John Poole BLEWETT b.ca.1827, d.1886, tailor & mercer, s/o Thomas BLEWETT) was indeed married on that date and at that place. However, the Madron parish marriage register indicates that the bride was Susan Read EATHORNE (b.1838, d/o James EATHORNE & Elizabeth READ). The index of civil registrations confirms that the marriage of John Pool BLEWETT and Susan Read EATHORNE was recorded in the Penzance district during 3Q1858. The surname READ/REED does enter into the picture and may somehow have been involved in the confusion resulting in the newspaper's faulty report. Bill Curnow Port Charlotte, FL, USA
