In June 1824 John Marsh was in Bognor, and ‘within the afternoon of the 21st, about 5. arrived my Sister & niece Catherine from London, without Mary, there having been some mistake about taking her up on the highway. The grass is saved very short and is so degree that it is used sometimes as a bowling inexperienced, and beautifully shaded by a couple of very superb old bushes & to crown all there may be a nice little Green House. Both sexes have an identical stage of aggressiveness. That ought to take care of the lumps, keep you degree and create a plunge-secure zone for your partner’s head. The following year, in July 1827, John Marsh went to Bognor for a fortnight, ‘for the sake of a bit of sea air before I went to Southwell, when my Son Edw’d was going soon to keep his residence for the months of August, Sept’r & Oct’r the primary a part of which I had agreed to spend with him. William returned to London and Mary suspected that he might need gone there to make his advances to a Miss Susan Faulkner ‘and one thing might have come of it, if our pal Edward Heathcote had not let him into a bit little bit of a secret, that he had discovered during the various tete’s a tete that he and Jane enjoy on a music day; particularly, that her objection was not to himself, however she thought her mom would by no means consent to her going abroad.
While there are no information of identical-intercourse marriages as understood from a Western perspective being carried out in Ladakhi culture, there may be evidence for identities and behaviours which may be placed on the LGBT spectrum. She had modified her identify she informed me on Tuesday the 9th after which she & Mr H.—- had set off for Peterborough, whence she dated her letter, however not mentioning their handle there, or how lengthy they meant to stay there, I co’d not ship my congratulations.’ In June 1828, ‘This being the day (Friday twentieth.) my Sister & the Heathcotes had appointed to return & keep a fortnight or three weeks with me, my Son (John) & Edmund went to look out for them when the coaches got here in, in neither of which they had been, in order that about 5. my Son & I sat all the way down to dinner without them. On Monday the 26. I anticipated my Sister, Nieces & grandaughter Harriett down by the coach, for whom I had taken places before I left town, & accordingly ordered dinner at 5. once i went to stop the coach at the fleece, however was surprized at finding it are available in empty withinside, the coachman saying that no person came both to the Belle Sauvage, Golden cross or Elephant & castle at which latter place he waited a long time.
I now therefore returned & sat right down to a solitary dinner that had been prepared for 5. Thinking they could probably come by the Portsmouth night time coach & arrive by the mail the subsequent morning I went to satisfy it, when I found, not them but my bro’r Henry, who pondering they’d arrived at the top of the preceeding week, was come to spend about 10 days with us. In May 1824, Marsh was staying in London and on Tuesday 18th, ‘I went to Islington & dined at my nephew J. Williams’s where my grandaughter Harriett was now staying whom my Sister had been obliged to dismiss from Southwell in the beginning of the 12 months, on account of her having been detected in flirting with one of many Hutchinsons, Son of the Surgeon there, & meeting him at evening in the backyard. In July 1826, John Marsh was In London, after one among his journeys to Kent to gather his rents, when he ‘had a visit from my Sister, niece Mary & nephew John, at whose home my Sister had been staying since she left Ramsgate, to which she had gone with my Son Edw’d & family about 3 weeks before in the steam boat, which conveyed his numerous household of 13 (including 3 maids) with a lot ease.
Mary offers her own account of this go to in a letter dated Monday 1st July 1820 she wrote to her son William, who was staying with Robert Forster Esq., at Southwell. There’s a slightly different account of the affair in a letter Mary Williams wrote to her son Henry two years later, in January 1823, whilst he was on his method to New Zealand to turn out to be a missionary there. Keith Booth has made defensible inferences about George Lohmann, and some of what Cardus wrote about Ted McDonald would erect an eyebrow at the moment. Within the night young Heathcote, the organist, who was now paying his addresses to my niece Catherine, came in about 8. once we had some music, by which my nephew William sung the bass, during which means we spent the latter a part of most of the evenings I spent there.’ On the Sunday (22nd) Marsh went to the church service but was much put out by the way the bells played the tune ‘God save nice George’ and provided to change it to that of the 104th psalm or else to take out the superfluous notes in the current tune, however Dr Wylde, the prebendary in residence, declined his proposal.
