Notes
Corrected from the fuller parallel entry in the St. Thomas' Cemetery Book (#19). David Stevens, an adult carpenter, aged 27 (the St. Stephen's page had been misread as 'Daniel Stevens', age 2). Dual-numbered: No. 471 (1856-65 series) / No. 736 (old running series). Officiant corrected: register reads 'R. Weston Metcalfe' (reading confirmed from the original register scan), not 'H.' as previously transcribed -- matches the parallel St Thomas' record of this same burial (id 10019) and 3 other Metcalfe-signed entries, all reading 'R.'
