Title: Marriage 1848
Post by: Westee on Tuesday 16 June 20 18:47 BST (UK)
Sarah Crofts married Joseph Blackett St Marys Church, Leicester 18th May 1848.  I am trying to establish the name of Joseph's father (if anyone has access to the marriage information). 
Many thanks

Joseph died Dec. 1854 - I would be keen to know if there is any newspaper articles re this?   

In 1851 census stated he was the Secretary and Manager of City of Durham Gas Com.  So a gas explosion or ??  I wonder.
