	The same transcription as Spratt is on FreeReg. There are actually 2 records on FreeReg, this is the second one, with a little more information, including the fact that Caroline says Spinster ............

	Yes, I saw that one, and also thought it a possible even probable but wonder where Caroline was and her connection with the Dyes?

	I wouldn't be surprised. I'm too tired to look at the moment- going to bed! Oh, but just wanted to add, the William Smith on the 1841 in Carlby, - looking at the image I think he's with Henry Longfoot, not the Dyes. I'll probably check back in the morning- night

	more on the article re the death of a Samuel Pratt first posted by DET This is from FMP .......... iKprsev.—Uu Wednesday, the met., Mrs. Fowler's, the Crane inn. was held Ix-luro Mr. Selby. J. coroner, on view of the body Samuel Pratt, labourer, who died suddenly the field previous day. His brother, Pratt, that and deceased were working together the farm 25 September 1877 - Lincolnshire Free Press - The farm was owned by Mr Wm Bullimore, Stow Gate, Deeping St Nicholas, and Pratt is described by the doctor as an unhealthy-looking man who had had typhoid fever 2 years prior that had laid him low for 3 months. His brother was called George Pratt (it's missing from the precis above) I don't know whether it is possible for someone without a sub to see the actual image from this link ......... http://search.findmypast.com.au/bna/viewarticle?id=bl%2f0001077%2f18770925%2f056 It is the last paragraph that was interesting ......... It was stated that the jury returned their fee to the widow. then it says ........... Deceased was 46 years of age. It will be remembered that about two years ago, we recorded the death of John Wright by falling from a haystack on Mr Bullimore's farm, dislocating his shoulder. He was the first husband of the now second time unfortunate widowed woman. age 46 gives a birth date of ca 1821 ............... which doesn't square with Samuel being a Minor on his marriage to Caroline?? <<<<<<<<<<< OOPS EDIT:- 1877 - 46 = 1831, not 1821. This guy would be too young to have married in 1844, when he would have been only 13 or 14 years old! So this is NOT the Samuel we've been looking for, unless the age reported is wrong.

	safc .............. nice find, although he did say he was a Minor on his marriage to Caroline in 1844, and that baptism in 1818 would have meant he was well over 21

	Re the marriage of John Pratt and Sarah Smith in 1820, posted earlier ........... FMP has the actual Parish registers. Lincolnshire, Parish Registers Surname Search, 1695-1911 The image shows that John was of the Parish of Deeping Fen, and was a Bachelor. He signed his name. Sarah made her mark. The witnesses were A Mossop (???) and John Kimberley ....... .... John Kimberley appeared to be a "professional" witness, and A Mossop had the same surname as the Curate, so neither was an apparent relation of either bride or groom

	Lincolnshire, Parish Registers Surname Search, 1695-1911 Pratt 1844 Deeping St James Baptisms John Pratt son of Samuel and aroline, baptised October 20 1844, Samuel occupation Labourer. There are 3 names written quite faintly above the surname, as does every other birth on 2 pages. I think they might be the names of the Godparents ...... and if so, might confirm the marriage of Sarah Pratt widow of John Pratt to Joseph Tyler, and thus be 1 tiny conformation of the parentage of Samuel The names are, I think ............ Joseph Tyler, John Spires or Shires? and Cathr Smith Pratt 1845 Deeping St James Burials John Pratt, Infant, buried April 20 1845 Pratt 1846 Deeping St James Baptisms John Pratt, son of Samuel and Caroline, baptised May 6 1846, Father Labourer Names again written in, but very faint, and I can only make out a surname Pratt for one of the 2 men and Cath Smith Pratt 1848 Deeping St James Baptisms George Pratt, son of Samuel and Caroline, baptised Oct 8 1848, Father Labourer. Names written in are David Smith, Saml Pratt and Mary Ann Smith Pratt 1855 Deeping St James Burials Caroline Pratt, buried November 16, age 30
