I wonder if dentists in the early 1800s knew about the effects of sugar on teeth?

Reminds me of a sketch by 'Scotland the What?' in which they were taking about a local village fête, to which the dentist's wife would be contributing her usual toffee.

Sorry, I'll get my coat ....
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

 ;D  If the "Last  Trump" excludes those who made their fortunes from the proceeds of slavery there will be a poor torn-oot on the top of the Necropolis!  ;D
