I have found the marriage of my GGF Joseph Herne Sipson in October 1882, when he was 24 and living at 17 Deacon Street in Leicester. His bride was Mary Ann Griffiths, aged 21, living at 70 Hazel Street, Leicester. Their respective fathers were Henry Sibson (a weaver) and Daniel Griffiths (a furnaceman). Can anyone help with an 1881 Census look-up of the above 2 addresses and/or fathers' names. Any help gratefully received. Thanks. Mike

Mike, They're not at those addresses in 1881. You can search by address for free on Ancestry. Rose

The marriage in 1882 is Sipson but all other names are Sibson. Could this be his death?
