abt. 7 o'Clock at Night Bought Licence of the Revd. Mr Edward Chapell to be married with Miss Elizabeth Newton Daughter of Samuel & Elizabeth Newton Gunsmith in Nottingham and cost me £1.4s6d Her father went w me for the Licence.
At last! Thomas really doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get married, does he?
Edward Chappell was the Rector of St Peter's Nottingham from 1725 until his death in 1767. There is a monument to him in the church and you can see it on the church's website.

5th April 1761
Went to Text 12 Eclias. 1vs spt 6d
In the King James this text is
1Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
We've already met the archbishop.
10th ltt. E Newton 4 Oysters 3d
Good to see that Thomas is keeping in touch with Elizabeth.
11th Went to See Covent Garden Romeo & Juliet Ross Romeo Miss Macklin Juliet 2/3
"Miss Macklin" was Mary, the daughter of the famous Irish actor Charles Macklin. She doesn't seem to have left any portraits. I've found only mention of "Ross" as an actor at Covent Garden in the right era but nothing much more (except that he was not as much of a draw as Garrick at Drury Lane at the same time!).

18 January 1750/1
Paid Mr Cripps for 2 pound Shag Tobacco 2/3
Thomas can't be very addicted as this is his first purchase since May last year.
25 February
Went to Bobers Mill with Mr Tutin spent 4d
Bobbers Mill is now an area of Nottingham. The area is named after the mill on the River Leen which is first referred to in 1438. I can only find one picture of it and that dates from 1906.
4th March
Miss Bett. Newton Bout for me at Mr Philip Sterleys 9 yds of fine Irish 2/1 - 18s 9d
6 March
She Bout me at Mr Southwells 1 yds 5/8 of fine Cambrick - 13s
I gave her money to buy them
This entry is the first mention of Elizabeth, who Thomas marries later (we'll get there in time!).
21st March the Prince of Wales Died
Frederick, who had a hostile relationship with his parents, died, to their ill-concealed relief!
