  	There is an obvious error in the Pope book. A date of birth is given as 15 Jul 1791 and a date of marriage as 10 May 1798. Even in that era, no one would have allowed a child to marry at only 7 years old. Assumption made that the date of birth was probably 15 Jul 1771, which is in line with her husband's birthdate.
