>From the Cambrian 22 March 1828 On Sunday se'nnight, at her residence at the Spa, near Gloucester, after a short illness, in the 85th year of her age, Mrs RAIKES, relict of Robert RAIKES, Esq., formerly the highly respectable Proprietor of the Gloucester Journal. She was a lady of a pious and benevolent disposition, with an active and well cultivated mind, and a heart open as day to melting charity. Her death will be long lamented by her surviving relatives and numerous friends. I am not researching this family but I thought I'd pass it on. regards Lyn in Oz.

I think this is the Robert Raikes whose son, also Robert, founded the Sunday School movement.
