Memorial plaque to John Abel Avery (d. 1880) and Charlotte Anne Avery (d. 1874), Kempsey West cemetery · Ray Cork · Kempsey West Cemetery, New South Wales, Australia · headstone photo

For John Abel Avery (1802–1880)

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF / JOHN ABEL AVERY / DIED 3RD JANUARY 1880 AGED 79 9/12 YEARS / ALSO / CHARLOTTE ANNE AVERY / DIED 3RD AUGUST 1874 AGED 65 YEARS

Read by me from the uploaded photograph of the Kempsey West plaque (RC portion); line breaks marked with /. The lettering is cast, so this is a later replacement marker rather than the original stone. 79 years 9 months before 3 January 1880 is about April 1800, which does NOT agree with the 12 June 1802 birth date already on this record, nor with the High Wycombe baptism of 19 June 1802 that compiled trees give him. Cited here for the death only.

For Charlotte Emma Davis (1809–1874)

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF / JOHN ABEL AVERY / DIED 3RD JANUARY 1880 AGED 79 9/12 YEARS / ALSO / CHARLOTTE ANNE AVERY / DIED 3RD AUGUST 1874 AGED 65 YEARS

Read by me from the uploaded photograph; line breaks marked with /. This is the only record read this session that gives her own middle name, and it gives CHARLOTTE ANNE. Age 65 at 3 August 1874 puts her birth about 1809, consistent with her being 17 at her Old Bailey trial in October 1826.
