Seagrave 75th wedding anniversary
« on: Thursday 13 August 09 20:53 UTC (UK) »
In 1964 I met some relatives of my husband who I think had fairly recently celebrated their 75th Wedding Anniversary, I was shown a telegram from the Queen and other congratulatory letters.They lived in a cottage in Seagrave, and although I can remember a lot about that visit their names completely escape me.Does anyone know who this couple was, If it was who I think it might be their name was Brown.

If no one replies it might be worth contacting the local paper as an event like that was probably reported.  I bet there are very few people who managed that.

Thanks for the suggestion, do you happen to know which papers might cover Seagrave,does Loughborough have one.
Unfortunately can't check through local library as I am out of country.

Hi

Sorry, I cant help there. Just by Googling I got the Loughborough Echo, but there may be others. Hopefully someone will spot this and be able to help.

I can check the Loughborough Echo for you but not sure whether those years are indexed so may take a little while.

i may be in before thurs when i go away for a long weekend, otherwise week after.

Hi Diddy

I think the year Liz is looking for is 1964 when they had the 75th wedding anniversary. They must have married quite young to have reached that, what an achievement  Cheesy Cheesy

yes, i had realised it was 1964 but as the Echo is a weekly paper it still leaves a lot to search manually. however will do my best!

Sorry I couldn't get back to you all sooner,the internet has been down.Thanks for suggestions,I have tried following some of them up but access seems to be a problem. Thanks Mike for Brown marriages,the one I was thinking of occurred in Warwickshire but the wife was from seagrave originally, but on further looking they were not married until the mid nineties as were nearly all the other marriages where both partners survived past th 1911 census,so perhaps it was the 70th. I think the couple must have had some relationship with the Cramps who lived in Seagrave during the the mid to late 18 hundreds since this is the only connection I know which lived in Seagrave,and I knew the other two ladies who were present and they were descended from Eliza Cramp through her daughter Rebecca Buxton.

Hi there,I have some seagrave connections,I know the village very well,went to school there.I have asked one relative who was around there in the sixties but he has no recollection of the couple you are looking for.Did you visit them,can you remember where the cottage was ie near the church and pub or near the school etc because i have some other quite elderly relatives from a neighbouring village who i could ask for you.
Best wishes Elaine

I can't remember where the cottage was in relationship to anything else. It may have been slightly uphill from the centre there was a garden in front and some aple trees it was old and looked somewhat like Sundial Cottage although I can't remember whether the roof was thatched or tiled.

I Have been to the library and started a search of the 1964 Echos. i have only managed Jan & Feb and feel that you need to narrow down the search to a month. the paper was a broadsheet and one page does not fit on the screen which makes it trickier.

maybe the Seagrave parish council might have produced a church newsletter? THe local library might know - that is probably syston:
