    Note that this is a late report, probably copied from the 11 May 1833 Royal Cornwall Gazette, which used the words "Thursday last", indicating the death was on Thursday, 2 May. The "Western Times" failed to correct the relative dating, so that it simply said "On Thursday" giving the impression of it being Thursday, 16 May, which was the Thursday immediately prior to the Saturday, 18 May, issue. William Keam was buried Sunday, 5 May, at St Mewan, so that the last Thursday on which he was alive was 2 May.
