Title: Loughborough record office help please
Post by: Sumi on Wednesday 16 October 13 11:36 BST (UK)
Looking for SKS who goes to the record office and could spare some time to look at the death/burial registers for me.

 I think my g/g/g/grandfather Richard SUDBURY died sometime after the 1851 census and before the 1861 but can't find anything in the online GRO index.  He was born Costock 1802 and I have his christening, marriage details,  1841 and 1851 census.

Any help much appreciated.

that's very kind of you Diddy.  The family were in Wellington Street in 1841 and 1851.

i checked freebmd  - think you already did - nothing showing for a Richard Sudbury or variations in leics /Notts. only one 1851/61 is in barnsley!

unfortunately burial indexes in L'boro do not cover those dates so would mean extensive trawling through all PRs.

he is also not in 1854 L'boro directory - william sudbury, joiner is there - brother??

are you sure he didn't emigrate / move to another part of Country?

Yes Diddy, William is his brother.  I don't think Richard left the area and I'm assuming he died between 1851 and 1861 because his son William, my g/g/grandfather turns up in Liverpool in 1861, his half sister Mary E is with her late mother's sister and half brother Edward is in Derbyshire. 

thank you for looking.

Heavens! ...you found a bit of paper from 1911!  I wish I was so organised.  I completely forgot I'd asked before.

Not sure if this is the same man,

Leicester Journal Friday 31 May 1861:

Deaths

"On the 21st inst, Mr Richard Sudbury, formerly of Loughborough, aged 52 years"

Also in other newspapers, but no further details

I have Richard Married to Ann Lacey but he is recorded as a widower 1840.  Where did he marry first?

His first wife was my 3x great grandmother Harriet DEXTER who he married at St Margaret's Leicester in 1836.  It's his death I can't find for certain.

thanks
