Trying to find a birth and marriage for my great grandmother, Mary Jane mostly known as Jane MUSSON nee RILEY.
1871 census Loughborough, Jane MUSSON wife of Alfred MUSSON, b. abt.1848 in Leicestershire.
1881 census Loughborough, Jane MUSSON wife of Alfred MUSSON, status married, b. abt.1851 in Loughborough, Leicestershire.
1891 census Loughborough, M J MUSSON wife of Alfred MUSSON, b. abt.1850 in Leicester, Leicestershire.
1901 census Leicester, Mary J MUSSON widow of Alfred MUSSON, b. abt. 1851 in Leicestershire.
Jane MUSSON is mentioned at Loughborough Petty Sessions in 1869.
Great Uncle Alfred John MUSSON'S birth certificate, Loughborough 1869, gives mother as Jane MUSSON nee RILEY.
Grandfather Archibald Bernard MUSSON'S birth certificate, Loughborough 1887, gives mother as Mary Jane MUSSON nee RILEY.
Most of their children were baptised at All Saints Loughborough in the 1870s and 1880s.
If anyone has access to All Saints Parish Records or knows if they are on line, that would be very helpful. Have the Leicestershire Phillimore Marriage Records, but Loughborough and Leicester are not included :(
Really looking to find the birth of Mary Jane RILEY (abt.1848-1852), have no indication she was married prior to Alfred MUSSON, but she may have been. Do understand that she may never have married Alfred.

Thank you Diddy, she is proving to be a very difficult person to trace. Have been trying for about 5 years now and have had several dead ends :(

In library now, not having much luck.
No bap of Mary Jane Riley, all Saints or in leics igi.no Alfred there either.
Have found death of Alfred 26/9/1900 Dead lane, aged 70, all Saints & buried there but no Mary Jane in plot.
No marriage found
Only Riley Thomas 4 /9/1848 s/o Joseph & Elizabeth Railwats terr, porter
Mary Jane may have been born in one of many villages nr loughborough

Thanks so much again Diddy.
Mary Jane is proving to be a very problematic great grandmother.
You will see from the census that big variation in birth year estimates, and where born varies from census to census. From Loughborough to Leicester but always Leicestershire.
The Alfred that died in 1900 is definitely my great grandfather. The extra details are very much appreciated. The whole family left Loughborough for Leicester shortly after his death in 1900. Mary Jane MUSSON died in Leicester in 1908 the only fact about her that I am certain of that and the fact she is given has mother on my great uncle and grandfathers birth certificates.
Thanks again Diddy :)
