Death of Jane RAY.6

Died in London.4,7

From the Ipswich Journal :-
"5th inst., in London, the Rev. Samuel Loney Barker, chaplain to the Duke of Cambridge, and of Tannington, in this county. The death of the Rev. gentleman was caused under the following melancholy circumstances :- He was crossing over at the corner of Regent-street Oxford-street, when he was thrown down by a runaway horse; he was immediately conveyed to the shop of Mr. Bridges, chemist, in Regent-circus, where every attention which medical skill could devise, was administered by two medical gentlemen who were passing at the  time the accident occurred: but medical aid proved unavailing, the unhappy gentleman's scalp having been torn from the frontal bone, which depressed in and fractured the longitudinal sinews. The animal which occasioned this fatal accident was ridden by a boy, and died within an hour after the accident, from an injury it received against the wheels of a dray : the boy was severely injured by falling against the dray"

Research Note.6

From "The Black Book" in the Norwich Record Office :-
"I believe he saw Jane at the Norwich Musical Festival & fell in love with her on sight. Subsequently he met her sister to whom he became engaged but on meeting the family (illegible) she was not the one he had fallen in love with. The mistake was corrected and he (illegible) married Jane.
See her engraved portrait as "Mrs. Barker"
The Rays were a good looking family"
