My take on Napoleon's life: https://oznunns.com.au/napoleon-nunn/

---

The following letters were written in response to the accidental death of BK1257 Alfred Nunn, son of Abraham Nunn.
The Napoleon Nunn mentioned was the base child of a Naomi Nunn, daughter of John Nunn and Sarah (Sally) Silverstone. There is no relationship yet established between the two Nunn boys although a family connection seems highly likely.

---

This letter published in the Bury and Norwich Post, and East Anglian, November 29, 1843, was in response to one published earlier regarding Alfred Nunn's accidental death.

Alleged ignorance at Chevington and Whepstead.
To the editor.
Sir, - Will you oblige me by inserting in your next paper the following statement, which I trust will be found a sufficient answer to the letter of "One of the Jury," on the inquest upon the body of Alfred Nunn, appearing in your last.
Napoleon Nunn, who occasioned the death of Alfred, is not a son of poor parents; he has been brought up by his grandfather, until lately an occupier of a farm of above hundred acres in Chevington, and never was an object for admission into a Charity School.
Abraham, the father of Alfred, has had seven children, of whom six have been taught to read, and received religious instruction in my schools; the remaining one is afflicted and incapable of learning.
All poor parents in the parish have the opportunity offered them of placing their children, at the age of seven, in the day-school, where they may remain at least three years, and be thence transferred to the Sunday School, where they are allowed to continue till the age of fifteen, or more: the object of the Sunday School being chiefly religious instruction; and, although the parents are often compelled to put their boys to work at a very early age, and, I grieve more to say, that there are some that neglect or refuse to send their children to school, who consequently grow up ignorant and vicious; yet, I believe that the number taught, about sixty, is quite equal in proportion to that prevailing in other places; the schools are supported by me and members of my family, without assistance from any endowment or Society.
The other two boys, Henry and Arthur Wittam, who were examined on the inquest, aged thirteen and ten, live in Whepstead, and belong to the Sunday School there; but being at a great distance from the church, and often necessarily employed on the Sunday in the care of stock, &c., their attendance has been very irregular, and they have but little knowledge of their catechisms; the eldest, however, can read the Testament decently, and has a distinct knowledge of retribution hereafter; and stated that his parents always instructed him so.
It cannot, therefore, be said, that these boys "have not the remote idea of a future state."
Your obedient servant, John White, Chevington Rectory, Nov.24, 1843.

The offending letter follows: Bury and Norwich Post 22 November 1843
Ignorance of the peasantry. To the Editor.
Sir, - You will no doubt report in your columns of this week the result of an inquest held at the Suffolk Hospital on Wednesday last. The facts are simply these: that one boy carelessly caused the death of another boy by a gun-shot wound.
But the grave and important question is the worse than gothic ignorance in which the rustic population of Whepstead and Chevington appear to exist.
The coroner in his charge was justifiably severe in describing the absence of all moral instruction, were removed but by a slight degree from the position of a savage state.
One lad, the principal in the accident, acknowledged that he did not know the Lord's Prayer; that he had no knowledge of the name of the clergyman of the parish, and, in fact, that he knew nothing of responsibility with respect to good or evil.
The two other lads stated they belonged to the Sunday School; they knew the Lord's Prayer, but had not the most remote idea of a future state.
And is this the education of the people, for which so much money is paid?
If it is, look at the result; one harmless lad is hurried into eternity, and the innocent cause of it. untutored and uninstructed, knows nothing of the responsibility of hastening his companion to another world.
But are the clergy, the paid educators of the people, wholly blameless? Was the rector or curate of these villages wholly ignorant of the existence of these boys, or were they negligent in endeavouring to lead their minds and cultivate them to the pursuit of virtue, or leaving them in reckless idleness to tread the path of infamy and crime?
Sir, we frequently marvel at the spread of crime in the rural districts, at incendiarism, and acts of violence; but when we see the germ of human intellect thus untutored, neglected, and even crushed, - can we wonder that the mind, thus brutalized, its energies cramped and contracted, should in the moment of supposed or real injuries rush to the perpetration of wild and savage revenge?
Yet when any plan of educating the people is proposed, it is generally met with all the fury of orthodox resentment?
Take this instance of proof of the careful teaching of the rustic population, and it there is a feeling of moral reflection amongst your readers, they will in unison with me blush to think, that within a range of six miles from a town like Bury, with a church in the village, and, I dare say, a tolerable benefice, that human beings should be found, whose ignorance, as far as Christianity and morality are concerned, would disgrace the savages of the wild, or the Hindoo worshippers in India.
Yours respectfully, One of the Jury.
[We insert this letter for the lamentable facts which it relates, but not admitting the justice of all its inferences. Unless a minister had the power of compelling the people to come, and send their children to be instructed, there may be instances of such ignorance as is here described, in spite of all the efforts of the most faithful pastor. - ED.]

The Ipswich Journal 18 November 1843 page 2
Dreadful accident from the incautious use of fire-arms. - A fortnight since we recorded an accident occurring to several children at Fornham from the explosion of gunpowder, most of whom are still severely suffering from its effects. On Sunday last, another, attended, we regret to say, with still more deplorable consequences, occurred in the parish of Chevington.
A boy by the name of Alfred Nunn, about fourteen years of age, whose father is a labourer in the employ of Mr. Worledge, accompanied another of the same to shoot some pigeons feeding on the land; it appears they were lying on a bank waiting an opporutnity of approaching them, when the gun of Nunn's companion accidentally went off, the charge passing completely through the calf of the right leg and dreadfully lacerating and fracturing the flesh and bone of the left. On his removal to our hospital amputation of both was, we understand, deemed necessary; but the boy being in such a depressed state from loss of blood and the shock to his system, the operation is deferred until he rallies - a circumstance of very doubtful event. We observe that both these accidents occurred on a Sunday, a day by the poorer classes so much descreated. - The boy, we have since ascertained, expired on Tuesday morning. Bury Herald.

The charge passed through both legs, and inflicted such severe wounds as would have rendered amputation of both necessary, had he rallied sufficiently to permit the operation. Verdict - Accidental Death.

Notes:

Unable to establish for certain that this George Nunn was the one who died in 1873. There is a possibility that he was still alive and remarried as a widower in 1884 as per a marriage entry for a George Nunn son of William John Nunn publican. The marriage took place at All Saints Church, Kennington, Notting Hill, London on Dec 10 1884 between George Nunn aged 40 widower, a provision or aler, of 77 Warrington Road and Elizabeth Ann Andrews aged 48 widow of the same address, dau of John Davis, sailor.
The information fits better for this George Nunn which means the one who died aged 29 in 1873 had different parentage. However, I can find no other evidence to prove or disprove the above.
