Most of the information in this post is courtesy of Anni Berman's St Albans Marriage Challenge. Please note that the first family mentioned is the same Saddington family mentioned in William Edward Saddington of London, England and Banff, Alberta, Canada 1870-1950.
I will start with a marriage certificate:
Married on 8 June 1918 in the Parish Church of St Peter, St Albans, Hertfordshire
George Cooper Saddington, age 49, Widower, Solicitor's Managing Clerk, living at 4 Priory Park Villas, Approach Road, son of George Saddington, Gentleman
to
Lily Maud Smith, age 49, Spinster, of no given occupation, living at 4 Priory Park Villas, Approach Road, daughter of Joseph Smith, Gentleman, Deceased
The death of George Cooper Saddington's previous wife, Elizabeth Jane Beszant, was commemorated on a family gravestone in the St Albans Cemetery, Hatfield Road, St Albans.
The front of the gravestone reads as follows:
IN LOVING MEMORY OF/ELIZABETH JANE/WIFE OF G.C. SADDINGTON/BORN MAY 30TH 1883 DIED FEB 11TH 1916/
FRANK GORDON SON OF THE ABOVE/BORN JULY 6TH 1911/DIED DEC 31ST 1911/
HARRIETT BLOUD SADDINGTON/BORN NOV 29TH 1844/DIED JAN 2ND 1912
On the side of the gravestone, it reads:
GEORGE COOPER/SADDINGTON/BORN FEB 7TH 1869/DIED APRIL 6TH 1938
Thus the gravestone records the lives and deaths of George Cooper Saddington, his first wife, an infant son and his mother, Harriett. Please note that Harriett's middle name has been misspelled on the gravestone, and should read BLOND.
George Cooper Saddington was an older brother of William Edward Saddington, about whom I have posted previously.
........................................
A second marriage certificate, which as yet has no known connection with the first:
Married on 14 July 1871 in the Abbey Church at St Albans, Hertfordshire
James Saddington, age 27, Bachelor, Coffee-house keeper, living in Abbey Parish, son of James Saddington, Groom
to
Annie Marshall, age 24, Spinster, of no given occupation, living in Kingswalden, daughter of George Marshall, Schoolmaster
If either of these families are related to you, I would be delighted to hear from you.
