Marriage Records Blackfordby St Margaret from 1833 to 1837

[Tom Piper]

Hi

Just trying to find the marriage of Samuel LOCKER to Harriet ORME, around 1834. The Orme family, including Harriet, were all born and christened in Blackfordby, and their first son Thomas Bevan LOCKER was born there in 1835, christened there on 26 April, 1835,  before the family moved on to Breedon on the Hill 8 miles away. I have found some marriages transcribed on rootsweb to 1833, but nothing beyond then. Anyone help at all?

Thanks Jomot, that's another problem solved. That also confirms the maiden name of Harriet LOCKER as ORME. I did wonder if it might have been Bevan or BEAVAN judging by the second forename of their first born child Thomas Beavan LOCKER. That second forename occurs in the next generation too, so I did wonder as to its significance. In that family Samuel LOCKER is the problem-he never seems to know where and when he was was born. In the the census of 1841 he says he wasn't born in Leicestershire, and in the 1851 census he says he was born in Nottinghamshire but the place is just three difficult to read letters transcribed as P N E!

Hello Tom,

My 2X great-grandfather Lewis Orme was baptised at Blackfordby in 1825, although I haven't done very much research further afield with the Orme family.

But here are a few things which might be of help to you....

Thanks another problem solved-yes Lewis but alters his name to Louis later on. It's early days for me researching this family. My interest lies in Lewis's elder sister Harriet who married Samuel Locker. They had 11 children between them, their eldest Thomas Bevan Locker drowning in the reservoir of the coal mine at Peggs Green when he was just 16, trying to swim across it. One of the youngest daughters, Ada, or Adah as she is in the census and free bimd born March quarter of 1855, married James William Martin a railway guard, their daughter Florence married Rev. Wilfred Ewart Selby and so on. Louis Orme was a bit of a gardener wasn't he? Samuel Locker was a musician in his spare time running the Snibstone Colliery Brass Band. Like you I haven't done much more with the Orme family yet.

Can I confirm that that marriage record at Ashby de la Zouch St Helen just had the marital status of both parties, not any of their occupations at the time or place of abode? I have seen other marriage records at that time only the marital status is mentioned, but usually confirms or not if they were of the parish of the church in which they were married.

Just another thought does anyone have access to the original baptism records at Blackfordby St Margaret-the full details of the baptisms of children there.

Samuel LOCKER and his wife Harriet ORME christened at least 1 child at that church, the first being Thomas Bevan Locker on 26 April 1835, then they move to Breedon on the Hill where 2 are christened-just trying to confirm Samuel Locker's occupation-by 1841 he was a wheelwright an occupation that he used in various coal mines in the area. Usually the baptism records show occupation of the father of the child don't they? But they are not often transcribed.

Hi Tom

Per my original post, both were 'of this parish' (OTP).  No occupation stated.

The baptism of Thomas Bevan Locker on 26 Apr 1835 confirms Samuel as a Wheelwright.

Samuel LOCKER is the problem-he never seems to know where and when he was was born. In the the census of 1841 he says he wasn't born in Leicestershire, and in the 1851 census he says he was born in Nottinghamshire but the place is just three difficult to read letters transcribed as P N E!

Rather than PNE I think the final letter is a K - if you look at the final family on the page, headed by Joseph Knight, the letter K is formed the same.   I would suggest that entry for Samuel is meant to mean place not known.
