Reuben Blackburn

*Ross is in the counties of Hereford and Gloucester

At the time of his marriage, Reuben was a corporal in the Royal Marines.

He died at 6 Brampton Street in Ross at the age of 66.  The cause of death was stated as: morbus cordia and dilated aorta. (heart trouble?) It says that C.W. Maddock was in attendance, and that he was his son-in-law. He was a resident of Tamerton Foliot, Crown Hill, Devon. (Is this where Ophelia went to live then?) Death was certified by James A Potts.
