Notes:

Bury Free Press 19 October 1940, page 4: CHEVINGTON.
The Death occurred on Tuesday week (8 Oct) of Mr. Thos. J.Nunn who was born in December 1852 at Queen Hill, Chevington. Mr Nunn had lived at Colchester for many years, where his wife died 60 years ago. Recently he moved to Kettering where his death occurred suddenly.
*Queen Hill is variously described as being both in Chevington and Chedburgh. It is the same place as there is only a couple of kilometres between Chevington and Chedburgh.
NOTE: There is a baptism entry for Thomas John Nunn born December 1851 (see: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NKM2-GJC) which means he would have been 88 when he died. Two possible explanations: Wrong year of birth presumed (often people got it wrong accidentally or on purpose), or the baby born 1851 died early in 1852 and the another son was born the following December and was given the same name. Whatever the case, this is definitely a son born to Wm Nunn and Eliz. Drake Rolfe given the obit information above.
