Marriage Lookup, Please! COMPLETED. Thanks!

Hi! I am trying to find a marriage record for Edward Smedley and Jemima Hodgett. From what I am finding on ancestry, it looks like they were married in Loughborough around 1850. The strange thing about it is that they were both born in Notts and had their first child in Notts around 1850. Cannot understand why they would go to Leicestershire to get married -- especially when all their family are in Notts and Derbys.

Edward Smedley b. 1824

Jemima Hodgett b. 1830  Her parents are John and Ann.

Thanks!

Hi

It looks like they married in Dec Qtr 1850 in Loughboro Reg District Vol 15 Page 263.

The link below is to the area covered by the Loughboro Registration District, it straddled the border between Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire.

Thanks, y'all!

I have to LOL at myself because I had this big imagining of Smedley and Hodgett eloping to Loughborough! Their first child, George, was born in 1850 (I think), and I was thinking: Hmmm...I'll bet her parents found out and were fuming mad and didn't approve so they ran off and got married!

Looks like George was born before the Marriage, aged 3 in 1851 Census.

You might find this site useful = http://www.keyworth-history.org.uk/histories/wysall.htm# - in the records they have parish record transcriptions for Keyworth and Plumtree churches, Keyworth has Jemima's baptism and one for her and Edward Smedley's daughter Mary in 1863.
