Somebody said that it couldn't be done But he with a chuckle replied,
That maybe it couldn't. But he would be one, Who'd never say so till he'd
tried.
So he buckled right in with a bit of a grin on his face, (if he worried he
hid it)
and started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done,
and did it.

> The above people were my g-g-g-grandparents. They were married at Holy
Trinity, Exeter, Devon on July 11, 1805. They had three children that I know
of, all born in Gt. Torrington: 1) Elizabeth, born in 1807, married Thomas
GUNN -I only know about her through the IGI; 2) William (my
g-g-grandfather), baptised April 23, 1820, married Anne GLEESON in London,
Ontario, Canada on February 5, 1850; and 3) Margaret, baptised October 20,
1822, married Joseph BANGHAM. Alice was buried in Gt. Torrington on March
9, 1847.
