Calkin, James Youngest of 6 children born to Thomas and Mary The "Staffordshire Advertiser Index to Births, Marriages and Deaths 1795-1820" has the following entry: James Calkin married 17.02.1798. I would think from the marriage date below that the date above is the reported date afterwards. The marriage date is confirmed by the Derby Mercury dated Thursday 22nd February 1798 because it says, "Marriage: On Tuesday se'nnight at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Mr. James Calkin of Stafford to Miss Mary ellis of the former place." (se'nnight is an olde English term for a week - as in a short form of "seven nights") |
