Title of Talk: The Most Failed Elopement

By David Shaw

The talk describes how, in 1828, a couple dashed from a village near Derby to Manchester to get married in secret. The outcome was a legal complexity that took forty years to resolve. What emerged was a farcical elopement with comedy and tragedy. David Shaw considers if this could be described as, ‘The most failed elopement.’
