Feb: On Wednesday last, an inquest was taken at Dymock, in this county, before John Cooke, Esq. Coroner, on view of the body of an old man, named THOMAS PENDALL, whose death was occasioned in the following manner. Whilst employed, on the Thursday preceding, in lopping a withy tree, a branch, which he had just severed from the trunk, fell upon him with such violence as to force him with it to the ground, whereby he sustained so much injury in the spine as to occasion paralysis of the lower extremities for five days, when death terminated his sufferings. Verdict, Accidental Death.

This is the only burial I can find with a similar sounding name - but this chap was only 45?
