Headstone for Isabella & Richard Sleep

  • Birth:

  • Mar 1820

  • Altarnun, Cornwall1 2

  •  

  • Address: Penport

    Her baptimal record does not give her date of birth. However, as it was normal practice to baptise children a few weeks or even a few days after their birth and as she was baptised on 27 March she was almost certainly born in early March in the cottage at Penport wher her parents lived. Her age (2) and the date of her death (13 December 1822) on her memorial inscription also indicate that she was born in 1820.

  • 27 Mar 1820 (age 0)
