The last post of 2010 comes courtesy of Tracy Barrall's Potterspury Registration District Marriage Challenge.
Potterspury Registration District lies in the area between Milton Keynes, Buckingham, Towcester and Northampton to name the biggest towns in the immediate vicinity.
As there are just two marriages to report, I propose to give full details of them.
The first marriage also appears to be the first to be recorded in the parish of Passenham with Deanshanger under the new registration procedure commencing in late 1837.

Passenham and Deanshanger are slightly south of the A5 between Towcester and Milton Keynes. As yet I have no further information about the Saddingtons in this area, but would be delighted to hear from anyone who has these people in their family tree.
I send my best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year to everyone who reads this post.
