Reading notes
'Reahael' and 'James' as printed (other sources give Rachel Nancy Janes). 'Imsande' is hyphenated across a line break as 'Im-sande'. The stated age is recorded as printed; it does not agree with the 9 Feb 1830 birth date in George Monroe Cooper's header.
What this document does not say
His parents' names; his first marriage or its children (the notice counts only 'three children', those of the 1875 marriage); a birth date.
