Edward Coward of the Parish of Grasmere, Husbandman, married Margaret Benson, spinster of the Parish of Hawkshead, by Licence on 4th November 1786.
Year 1808 Burials
The burial record for Margaret reads "Margaret wife of Edwd. Coward of Town Innkeeper Died July 8 Buried 11 in Church Yard Aged 44".
There may be some doubt about the baptism record I have selected for Margaret as she would have been six years old at the time (6 Feb 1770) if the age quoted at burial is correct.
