"One of the bridal presents received is a beautiful silver tea- and coffee-service from England, the tray of which bears this inscription: "To William L. Royall on the occasion of his marriage; from a few English friends, the holders of Virginian bonds, in recognition of professional zeal and public spirit displayed by him in his consistent and courageious efforts for the protection of their property and the preservation of the honour of his native State. Henry Ramie Becton; Fred. J. Burt, Bernard Cecil George Brooks, James Padgett Cooper, Henry Joseph Chinnery, Walter Moresby Chinnery, Sydney Claris, Frank Pl Leon, Daniel Marks, Samuel Montagu, Dillwyn Parrish, Charles James Tapp, William Trotter, and William Grovely Woolston."
Apparently, this Charles James Tapp lives in England and pitched in to purchase a tea set, and to have it engraved. I assume he would be about the same age as the Bride and Groom, somewhere between 20 and 30 years old, making his birth about 1850-ish.
