1710-1720
The Hanoverian, George I took over the throne in 1714, in accordance with the rules in the 1701 Act of Settlement.
The
only major event we know of in this decade is the marriage, in October,
1719 of Robert Brinsmead to Grace Vodden in St. Giles in the Wood. They
had their first child Mary a little earlier since she was baptized March
17, 1718/19.
By the end of the decade, Robert, now aged 24 is married to Grace and they have the one child, Mary. Henry, now 22 is still single. We do not have a record of Christian aged 27, who is perhaps married.
Elsewhere in the Village, in 1710 Robert Lovett, Esq. gave £30 for binding out apprentices to the handicraft trades.
The War of Spanish Succession ("Queen Anne's War") lasted from 1702-1713, when it ended with the peace of Utrecht.
