Pallot's Marriage Index for England 1780-1837 transcribed a marriage between Horatia Ann Lankester in Stepney St. Parish Dunstan. They said the date was 1807, but it was very faded and probably is 1827. OI lists Horatio Ann Lankester marrying on 28 Jan 1827 to Thomas Sperry.

“I have a small cream pitcher that Mother told me was part of the room service sets used at the hotel her Grandparents ran. It was in Illinois and I believe Chicago. However I don’t know which Grandparents it was. Her Mother’s parents were John Sperry and Juliette Smith. John Sperry was from New Jersey. Any help?” - letter from Barbara Kelsey Jespersen 5 April, 1978.
