3322	The 1757 William Williamson event recorded in the Stanton Drew PRs is a burial, not a baptism.	WILLIAMSON, William (I276)
3323	The 1824 Gloucester Gaol record refers to a William COOPER aged 22, not this William.	COOPER, William (I14705)
3324	The 2nd Earl Spencer was First Lord of the Admiralty 1794 - 1801 and Secretary of State 1806 - 1807. Knight of the Garter, Elder Brother of Trinity House, FRS and FSA. Succeeded by his eldest son. {Burke's Peerage}	SPENCER, George John 2nd Earl Spencer (I7622)
3325	The 6th Earl Spencer filled a number of court appointments and was created GCVO in 1911, a Knight of the Garter in 1913. He was created Viscount Althorpe of Great Brington 19 Dec 1905. He died leaving several issue, including his eldest son and successor. {Burke's Peerage}	SPENCER, Charles Robert Earl Spencer (I7631)
3326	The age given here is inconsistent with other records, but birthplaces of James (Braintree) and wife Mary Ann (Paddington) confirm identity as consistent with later censuses.	BROWN, James (I345)
3327	The age of 21 given in the marriage licence is simply an indication that he was of full age (and up).	WOODROW, James (I4462)

3331	The anomaly that a girl could marry at 12 but not consent to sexual intercourse outside marriage until 16 remained in place from 1885 until the Marriage Act of 1929. Technically, therefore, although Catherine was old enough to marry, William Woodrow GRAHAM had committed an offence in getting Catherine PRINGLE pregnant with their daughter Catherine - unless her birth was significantly premature. This probably accounts for Catherine claiming to be 18 when they married, and for the marriage taking place in Tynemouth rather than in Catherine's home parish.

3336	The Baptist Magazine, 1859: "The Rev. James Thomas, the superintendent of the Mission Press, after thirty-two years of uninterrupted labour, has passed away to reap the reward of his successful, self-denying, and devoted toil."	THOMAS, Reverend James (I17358)
3337	The Baptists in Jamaica established, in 1843, the "Calabar Theological College" for the training of Ministers for the local ministry and also as missionaries to Africa and the Caribbean. The Baptist work in the Cameroons, West Africa, was started by the Baptists of Jamaica in 1846. In 1849, some of the Baptist Churches in Jamaica came together to form the Jamaica Baptist Union. The Baptist Churches had seven years before declared their independence of the Baptist Missionary Society.	Family: James T MILLINER / Mary BANKS (F32)
3338	The Battalion saw service as follows: Expedition to the Baltic, 1807 Station in Sicily 1809-16 Expedition to Gulf of Naples 1809 Expedition to Italy 1814-15 Campaigns in the Peninsula 1812-13 (forming part of the allied army in Catalonia).	PRINGLE, Colin Robert (I21610)
3339	The battle is significant for the first use of the tank in warfare and expectations were high that it would prove a decisive weapon. However, the Mark I tank's performance in the battle was patchy and the British commander-in-chief, General Sir Douglas Haig, has been criticised for revealing the secret weapon too soon. He was warned against this by both his subcommanders (such as E.D. Swinton) and the French government which sent Colonel Jean-Baptiste EugÃ¨ne Estienne and Subsecretary of State of Inventions Jean-Louis BrÃ©ton (normally arch-enemies) to London hoping to persuade the British government to overrule Haig. Like the earlier offensives of 1 July (Battle of Albert) and 14 July (Battle of Bazentin Ridge), Haig had hoped to achieve a breakthrough of the German defences, enabling a return to mobile warfare. Though the British, Canadian and New Zealand forces did make significant gains on the day, a breakthrough was not forthcoming and the Somme front reverted to an attritional struggle, which, with the onset of wet weather, created dreadful conditions in which the infantry had to live and fight. Objectives that were taken included High Wood and the Switch Line over which the British had been struggling for two months. On the left flank the Canadian Corps captured Courcelette while in the centre the villages of Martinpuich and Flers were taken but these were short of the original objectives of Gueudecourt and Lesb?ufs. On the right, the German redoubt known as the Quadrilateral stopped the British well short of Morval. To take these remaining objectives, the British Fourth Army launched the Battle of Morval on 25 September.	GRAHAM, Alexander Pringle (I680)
3340	The Battle of Morval, which began on 25 September 1916, was an attack by the British Fourth Army on the German-held villages of Morval, Gueudecourt and Lesboeufs during the Battle of the Somme. These villages were originally objectives of the major British offensive of 15 September, the Battle of Flers-Courcelette. The French Sixth Army, which had not been keeping pace with British progress in September, also attacked to try and bring the two armies into line. While the village of Combles was finally taken, the French were unable to match the British advance and so the problem of a German salient at the boundary of the Allied armies remained.	GRAHAM, Alexander Pringle (I680)
3341	The battle was the British component of the combined Anglo-French offensive known as the Third Battle of Artois. General Douglas Haig, then commander of the British First Army, directed the battle; however, his plans were limited by the shortage of artillery shells which meant the preliminary bombardment, essential for success in the emerging trench warfare, was weak. Immediately prior to the troops attacking the German lines, at around 6:30 a.m., the British released 140 tons of chlorine gas with mixed success?in places the gas was blown back onto British trenches. Due to the inefficiency of the gas masks at the time, many British soldiers removed them as they could not see through the fogged-up talc eyepieces, or could barely breathe with them on. This led to some British soldiers being gassed by their own chlorine gas as it blew back across their lines. The battle opened on September 25 and the British were able to break through the weaker German trenches and capture the town of Loos, mainly due to numerical superiority. However, the inevitable supply and communications problems, combined with the late arrival of reserves, meant that the breakthrough could not be exploited. A further complication for many British soldiers was the failure of their artillery to cut the German wire in many places in advance of the attack. Advancing over open fields in full range of German machine guns and artillery, British losses were devastating. When the battle resumed the following day, the Germans were prepared and repulsed attempts to continue the advance. The fighting subsided on September 28 with the British having retreated to their starting positions. The British attacks had cost over 20,000 casualties, including three divisional commanders; George Thesiger, Thompson Capper and Frederick Wing. Following the initial attacks by the British, the Germans made steady attempts to recapture the Hohenzollern Redoubt. This was accomplished on October 3. On October 8 the Germans attempted to recapture much of the lost ground by launching a major offensive along the entire line, but abandoned the effort by nightfall due to heavy losses. This marked the official end of the hostilities, although in an attempt to strike before the winter rains set in, the British attempted a final offensive on October 13, which failed due to a lack of hand grenades. General Haig thought it might be possible to launch another attack on November 7th but the combination of heavy rains and accurate German shelling during the second half of October finally persuaded him to abandon the attempt. Major-General Richard Hilton, at that time a Forward Observation Officer, said of the battle: A great deal of nonsense has been written about Loos. The real tragedy of that battle was its nearness to complete success. Most of us who reached the crest of Hill 70 and survived were firmly convinced that we had broken through on that Sunday, 25th September 1915. There seemed to be nothing ahead of us but an unoccupied and incomplete trench system. The only two things that prevented our advancing into the suburbs of Lens were, firstly the exhaustion of the 'Jocks' themselves (for they had undergone a bellyfull of marching and fighting that day) and secondly the flanking fire of numerous German machine-guns, which swept that bare hill from some factory buildings in Cite St. Auguste to the south of us. All that we needed was more artillery ammunition to blast those clearly located machine-guns, and some fresh infantry to take over from the weary and depleted 'Jocks.' But, alas, neither ammunition nor reinforcements were immediately available, and the great opportunity passed.	GRAHAM, Alexander Pringle (I680)
3342	The battle, which opened on 1 October, began well with the capture of Eaucourt L'Abbaye by the 47th (1/2nd London) Division as well as an advance along the Albert-Bapaume road towards Le Sars. The advance was resumed on 7 October and Le Sars was taken by the British 23rd Division but progress along the Canadian lines was stalled. The weather was rapidly deteriorating and the battlefield, which had been pummelled to dust by relentless artillery bombardment over the preceding three months, turned to a quagmire. Rawlinson mounted further attacks on 12 October, 18 October and 23 October but there was little chance of a significant gain. The last throe (which by now included the Australian forces of the I Anzac Corps) came on 5 November despite protests from some corps commanders who believed continued attacks to be futile.

3345	The ceremony was performed by James Moffat LOGAN, who had left Old King Street in January 1903 to take up an appointment in Accrington. It may be that the LOGANs were family friends - indeed, when Mrs LOGAN was a widow she would join the GADDs in their premises overlooking Park Street on the occasion of Royal visits to Bristol.

3346	The chapelry of Holt was in the parish of Bradford-on-Avon, and might be considered an out-of-sight place for the baptism of an illegitimate child.	SHRAPNEL, Love (I21395)
3347	The cottage was leased (999 years) in 1677 by Margaret Payton of Dundry, widow, to Hester Hannom, it being then in the possession of Jeremiah Hippisley. By the will of John Harris of Blagdon, yeoman, 1803, it was bequeathed to his grandson, also John Harris of Blagdon, yeoman, mortgaged by him in 1822 to John Cox, gentleman, and by Cox sold to George Broad of Dundry, labourer, in 1844, at which date it was 'in ruins' and 'for many years then last past void'. The cottage passed successively to James Broad, Ellen Broad, his widow, and his children George, Albert and Henry Broad, and Ellen Kibble. It was sold to Elijah Gadd of Dundry, mason in 1888, and remained with heirs until 1957. [Somerset CRO A\BXE/1]	GADD, Elijah (I17232)
