Loughborough Registration District Marriages

Courtesy of Sue Horsman's Loughborough Marriage Challenge come the following marriages:

1 July 1907 - Parish of Loughborough, Leicestershire

Robert Saddington, age 27, railway servant, son of Thomas Saddington, labourer, married Ada Jane Foster, age 28, daughter of Charles Foster, ostler

Further to the Shepshed marriages, Joseph Saddington, son of John and Mary Saddington was baptised at Shepshed on 15 July 1849, and a Joseph Saddington, age 22, died in the Loughborough Registration District in the September quarter of 1872 (Volume 7a, Page 86). So John and Mary of the 1849 marriage were probably the parents of Joseph of the 1868 marriage, and Eliza of the 1868 marriage was definitely the same Eliza as the 1873 marriage. A male Saddington child was born and died in the Loughborough Registration District in the December quarter of 1868, which may have a bearing on the marriage of Joseph and Eliza.

If any of these people are ancestors of yours, please do drop me a line.
