As part of my blog, I will be periodically be doing a short 'On this day' article featuring a member of the Sarson family.
On this day, January 1, in 1839, Thomas Frederic Sarson married Susannah Brice at St Michael and All Angels Church in the village of Harston, Leicestershire, England [1]. The union though was registered in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England, which is about 6 miles north east of Harston, Leicestershire, England [2]. There was a marriage notice in the Leicestershire Mercury on Saturday 12 January 1839 [3].
