Norwich, July 1st. 1817.
My dear Sir,
I have just been doing what I never before did, & hope never to do again; I have married a wife {1}—a woman nearly my own age, very plain; very deformed, without an accomplishment or a guinea.
Yours faithfully
Js. Layton.
—————
{1} James Layton and Lydia Roach were married by licence at the church of St Simon and St Jude, Norwich, the same day. Layton was 37 years of age at the time of his marriage; his wife’s age is unclear.
