I wonder whether anyone has access to the parish records for St Mary, Nottingham?
I'm trying to help a friend in South Africa to put together her family.
From FindMyPast - Nottinghamshire Transcriptions
Robert Mason and Emma Mee - 4 October 1853.
There is nothing on FreeREG, nor on other sites. I'm interested to confirm Robert and Emma's fathers. I believe that Emma's is possibly Robert, but would also like to see who Robert's father is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are they the couple on the 1861 in Harborne, Staffs. If so it says they were born in Leicestershire.
RG 9; Piece: 2126; Folio: 4; Page: 1
They have a daughter Rosa, there is a baptism for a Robert and his mothers name is Rosetta, Coincidence?? Maybe, but worth checking out.
Robert Mason b 26 Jan 1829 bp 30 Jun 1837
All Saints,Loughborough,Leicester
Father: Robert Mason
Mother: Rosetta
Marriage cert would be the obvious way of course.

Robert Mason m Rosetta Rowlet 30 Aug 1822
All Saints, Loughborough, Leicester

Many thanks, yes I believe that is the couple on the 1861 census.
I'm planning to go to Wigston Record Office soon, so I will definitely check out the Loughborough entries.
But I'm really interested in verifying Emma Mee's father.
Again, many thanks

I've really, REALLY got to see that marriage entry at Nottingham :o :o
1871 census at Long Whatton:
John Starkey Barrow, 31, Maltster
Emma Barrow, 36, born Diseworth
Louisa Mary Mason, 15 - step daughter, born London
Rosa Amelia Mason, 13 - step daughter, born Nottingham
New GRO Index shows Louisa Mary (1856 - Islington) and Rosa Amelia (1858 - Nottingham) having mother's maiden name of Mee.
BUT marriage entry for John Starkey Barrow and Emma Mason - 20 May 1870 at Matlock (image on FS) says that Emma Mason, aged 30 of Diseworth is a spinster, father is Robert Mason (deceased), farmer. :o :o

Just to add to the plot
There is a Charles Mason bapt 10 May 1825 to Robert & Rosetta Mason at Loughborough All Saints
On the entry for Robert Mason baptism in 1837 father occupation is given as Butcher
Charles married an Elizabeth and had a child bapt Rosetta Mason 4 Sept 1858.
Robert & Rosetta Mason are still in Loughborough in 1841 both aged 45

I know, that's the one I need the details for ;D ;D

Oops that will teach me to read the post correctly

In 1861 Robert's name is given an Robert Ge Mason -- presumably Robert George.
-
Umm! I did notice that, but the marriage index and transcription don't intimate a middle name.
Louisa Mary's marriage entry to Joseph Robert Mee, also has no middle name for her father. Yes, we believe that Louisa Mary Mason and Joseph Robert Mee are cousins. ;) Another reason to try to find Emma's father's name from Emma's marriage in Nottingham.
