Narrative

From the Fryerning, St. Mary The Virgin, Essex Parish Register:

• (1848) Sarah Reeve of Fryerning (buried) Sept 6th, age 63 by ? Rich Apt Curate
• (1849) February 19th; Thomas Reeves of age widower Laborer of Fryerning s/o John Reeves Deceased Laborer to May Anne Davey of age widow servant of Ingatestone d/o John Davey Deceased Gardner.
• (1851) Thomas Reeves of Fryerning (buried) July 13th, age 65 by Felix Palmer Curate

Thomas wrote his will on 13 Nov 1849 and it was proved 6 Aug 1851. The probate states he died 8th July 1851. His will only mentions his wife Mary Ann. Since his marriage record states he was a widower, we can match him to Thomas Reeves listed in the 1841 census in Fryerning (age 50) with wife Sarah (age 50). Sarah's burial is recorded in 1848 which matches with his remarriage in 1849.

Thomas was listed in Fryerning in 1851, age 65, born in Hemingstone, Suffolk. With him was wife Mary A. (45), born in Little Easton, Essex.
