| Surname | Cunningham | | Death date | 6 Dec 1813 | | Place of death | Near Bath | | Source | Gentleman's Magazine | | Date | Jan 1814 | | Page number | 95 | | Detail | Drowned, whilst skating on the Kennet and Avon canal, near Bath, a son of Gen. Sir W. Cunningham, who had just finished his education, and was on the point of accepting a desirable situation in the East India service; a son of Dr. Briggs, of Worcester, who was on a visit at Sir Wm. C's; and Felix, son of ---- Mogg esq. of Wincanton. The youngest of the three, Master Briggs, fell in first; and his companion, in endeavouring to rescue him, shared the same fate. Anxious to render assistance to his unfortunate friends, the third youth hastened to the spot; -- and the fragile surface again gave way, and he also sunk to rise no more. |
