The West Briton (Friday, 16 Oct 1857) reported the following death at 
Zennor:

> DEATHS
>
> At Milldown, int he parish of Zennor, on Friday last, Mr. Henry QUICK, aged 64 years...

It is worth noting that this was "Henny" Quick (1792-1857) who gained renown as Zennor's poet. His story and some of his poetry were collected in a small book published by Truran in 1984, edited by the late Peter A. S. Pool, and entitled "The Life and Progress of Henry Quick of Zennor."

and

The West Briton (Friday, 16 Oct 1857) reported the following death at 
Zennor:

> DEATHS
>
> At Zennor Church Town, last week, the wife of Mr. William BERRYMAN, aged 74 years.

This is a curious case of the newspaper garbling a story that had previously been reported correctly. A week earlier the following had appeared in The West Briton (Friday, 09 Oct 1857): "At Zennor Church Town, on Saturday last, Mr. William BERRIMAN, aged 74 years."

It was in fact William BERRYMAN (1784-1857), farmer, who died 03 Oct 1857 and was buried at Zennor on 06 Oct 1857. His wife Jennifer (ca.1785-1859, nee EDDY) lived another 15 months and was buried at Zennor on 14 Jan 1859.
