Further to Above The Marriage of a John Parsons and Mary Broadhurst has been found at Lullington; DBY
************************************************************

John married Mary Broadhurst on 12 Oct 1789 in All Saints, Lullington, Derbyshire, England. Mary (daughter of William Broadhurst and Jane Gent) was born in Apr 1766 in Lullington, Derbyshire, England; died in Jan 1837 in Upton, Leicestershire, England; was buried on 1 Feb 1837 in Saint Botolph's Churchyard, Sibson, Leicestershire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence at marriage: Lullington, Derbyshire, England
• Baptism: 16 Apr 1766, All Saints, Lullington, Derbyshire, England

Notes:

The reasons for Assuming that the John and Mary Parsons (nee Broadhurst at Lullington are one and the same family that appeared in the Sibson Registers in 1793 are as follows.
The Parsons Family of Upton in the Parish of Sibson had a close relationship to the Family of John Spencer. John Spencer married and lived at Clifton Campville from 1794 until 1818 although he had worked in Upton in 1793 at the farm of Mr. Tabbener obtaining legal settlement there. The parishes of Clifton Campville and Lullington are contiguous.
After their marriage John and Mary baptized 2 Children in 1790 and 1792, there is no activity by them in the registers after 1792.
There was also a Chapman Family farming in the Lullington area at this period.
********************************************************************** ************************
John Parsons does not appear to have been born in Lullington although he witnessed a marriage of William Parsons to Amey Dawes there in 1788, likely his brother. William at that time was from Tamworth.

The poor law records for Lullington will be accessed in due course if they survive to check for settlement certificates.

Notes:

NB a Mary Broadhurst Widow was Buied on Oct 27 1774 at Lullington, this could possibly be William's mother.
Apart from those listed there are no other Broadhursts in the Lullington Registers which have been checked from 1679-1837

William married Jane Gent on 9 Oct 1761 in Saint Denys, Ibstock, Leicestershire, England. Jane was born about 1738; died in Jun 1768 in Lullington, Derbyshire, England; was buried on 18 Jun 1768 in Lullington, Derbyshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

****Note the IGI at Ibstock lists a marriage of William Broadhurst and Jane Gent in 1761****
