LOST SENSE OF SMELL At Margate, England, recently a jury awarded £1800 damages to Thomas Sidney BULLOCK against John Patrick BROWN , for injuries sustained in an accident at Northdown, Margate, in August last year. Evidence was given that defendant's cart ran into the plaintiff's bicycle from behind. The plaintiff had a fractured base of the skull, causing permanent loss of the sense of smell and partial loss of taste. The accident would necessitate an operation every three months for life.

Thanks Ann and Robin for your prompt replies, you have manage to solve two mysteries Robin as in 1891 Ann is shown in London the Grandmother to three children all surname Coles, once again thank you. Regards Joan
Joan You can find Ann visiting her married sister Sarah Emptage (married Joseph Clark 13 Jun 1829 - Birchington) in Islington. Ann is with her daughter Grace (Isabella), son James (Heneage - looks like he was born 23 Jun 1837) and son William (Alfred). In Ancestry, their surname has been transcribed as Gerdes. The source citation is: Class: HO107 / Piece: 1502 / Folio: 490 / Page: 3. I would guess that Ann's husband was the James Ginder baptised in Whitstable on 26 Jun 1814. Isabella Grace Ginder married either William Coles or Thomas King in Q3 1861 Islington Middlesex 1b 465 Robin

ANOTHER SINGING MOUSE ! - Mr. John WOODWARD , baker of St. Peter's, in the Isle of Thanet, has in his possession one of those extraordinary animals, which was caught on the premises of Dane Court Lodge, the residence of Mrs. MILNER , who had heard the little animal several times previous to its being caught. It has been visited by a greater part of the inhabitants of this place, who expressed their astonishment and admiration of the notes of the little animal. The writer of this notice has witnessed it several times; the sounds it emits are a low but shrill whistle, something similar to the notes of a nightingale.

Hi Roger, Google in CCED Portal this is the Church of England Clergyman database, it lists clergymen back as far as the 1500's, you might find him there if he was a vicar.

I have a will of John Young of St John's dated Feb 1584/5. The man appears to be quite pious/religious and leaves his do(u)blet to father Malcolm. John's own father's name was Thomas. Was there a vicar by that name in St John's about that time, or am I to assume that he was a friar or monk living in the parish?
