this made me laugh, i found it in a book of newspaper clippings from st ives; "a remarkable wedding took place in penzance on monday,the contracting parties being Francis Russell Vincent,a widower of 86years,and Annie Harvey,a widow aged 96.they have only known each other a few weeks." may 1905 it didn't last long by july 29th there was another clipping saying she had been deserted and "left with neither meat nor money. in october she took him to court,she was asked if she was willing to live apart to which she replied"i am,and glad to get rid of him and all his dirt"i"I was brought up respectably and with pious parents. he took away my living from me £8 a year" |
