It is related of her that, in protest and testimony against the wholly unauthorised keeping of the so-called Holy-days of the Papal and State churches, she invariably made a practice of keeping her spinning-wheel in active operation - inside or outside her doorway, as weather permitted - on such occasions." [Henry Ecroyd Smith: Annals of Smith of Cantley: 1878. p.106]

MARRIAGE: At the Meeting House at Old Raby, 27.II.1770 "was the latest one solemnised at this Meeting House." [HenryEcroyd Smith: Annals of Smith of Cantley: 1878. See page 106].
