adds a bit of a spark
« on: Friday 14 July 17 23:40 BST (UK) »
Trolling/trawling  the records to complete one after the other of my 'Ravens' ...

I hit an unusual bit of info... so thought I would share it.

I was looking for the death of Joseph Raven who was born in Leicestershire c 1740

And came across the attached snippet. 

I wont transcribe it straight away - because I would like others to interpret -(I wanted to use the word interpretate but it seems it is an old fashioned word nowadays :(  ) it their own way... so we can see if ... we come out with the same or similar wording.   :)  xin

Not sure of some of the marks but here's my try:

Joseph Raven of Dunton...........killed by a Ball in a Tumult, when the Leicester Cavalry came to recover some corn from ? a mob that had seized it - Wheat being now sold at 20 p: ?

My interpretation as well. Ball being as in a bullet from a musket/gun?
