This is a quick post updating my original post of 30 December 2008 with information discovered during my post Christmas trip to the Leicestershire Record Office.
John and Frances Saddington's son, Daniel, did indeed die in infancy. The relevant burial register for Houghton on the Hill [DE2555/7] states at entry no. 200:
Daniel Saddington Houghton February 4 [1841] Infant J S Coleman
The same register also gives details of John and Frances' burials:
No. 634
Frances Saddington Houghton April 12th [1890] 83 G B Dalrymple Rector
and
No. 669
John Saddington Houghton Sept 6th [1894] 88 G B Dalrymple Vicar of Worthington
Turning to the relevant burial register for Barsby, which can be found under Ashby Folville [DE960/10], the following entries were found:
No. 244
Henry Mayfield Barsby Ap 4 [1858] 1 year W Prosser Vicar
and
No. 334
Fanny Mayfield wife of Reuben Mayfd Barsby Novr 1st [1870] 33 H S Norwood Curate of Twyford
A further inspection of the GRO indexes provided a reference to the death of a Frances Mayfield in the December quarter of 1870 in the Melton Mowbray Registration District, whose age at death was either 31 or 34, depending on how good your eyesight is.
As before, if this is your family, please do not hesitate to contact me.
