The death of WILLIAM CHIPPINDALL in Morecambe Bay in 1765

[GeoffTurner]

We have now bought some archive material relating to another of the drowning victim's sons, the Rev Giles Chippindall of Winwick, which has switched our interest to him. His wife Elizabeth Thomazine Price was from Norfolk and their two daughters were baptized there. I found the baptism of the first child on FreeReg.

Father occupation Rev'd.
NOTES: Being the day after her birth, Mother late spinster. Privately baptised. 

What would "Mother late spinster" mean in this context? That she had married not long before the birth?

I haven't been able to find a substantiated record of Giles' marriage to Elizabeth Thomazine Price. There is a suggestion that they married in London in 1791 but that might just be wishful thinking on someone's part.  Does anyone have access to their marriage record?

Thanks again,

Mother late spinster means just that.
She had not been married before.

[GeoffTurner]

Thanks.

Thanks again. My FindMyPast subscription has expired.

We now have a lithograph of a drawing of Giles (1760-1823) which was among the documents we bought from the Cheshire Archives.
