Marriage: Doris Mary Wain & Herbert Kenneth England

It is Friday again, when I share something that I have found whilst looking for records, that is interesting or adds information to our family tree.

Taken from Derby Daily Telegraph, 14 April 1941, page 2
The transcription reads:
ENGLAND - WAIN
A lucky key, a wooden spoon, and a lucky horseshoe were presented to Miss Doris Mary Wain, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Wain, of Stanton-by-Bridge, following her marriage at St. Michael's Church, Stanton-by-Bridge, on Saturday, to Mr. Herbert Kenneth England, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. England, of 98, Holbrook-street, Heanor.
Senior bridesmaids were Misses Rose and Daisy Wain, the bride's sisters. The junior attendant was Miss Audrey Rosemary Wain, the bride's niece, and pageboy duties were carried out by Master Maurice Wain, the bride's nephew.

Daisy Mary Wain is my 2nd cousin, twice removed. Her father Matthew Wain (1880-1973), is my 2nd great uncle, his parents, Isaac Wain (1850-1932) and Mary Sigley (1949-1890) are my 2nd great grandparents.

Burial: Martha (Mellor) Sigley (1821-1894)

 On this day, Tuesday 24 April 1894, my 3rd great grandmother Martha (Mellor) Sigley (1821-1894) was buried.

Unfortunately, burial records do not give alot of information. This is the page of the register, which shows that she was buried in the Parish of Quarnford in the County of Stafford in the year One thousand eight hundred and ninety four.

 This is the entry enlarged, which shows that she was 72 years old when she died and lived at Heathylee, Quarnford and the ceremony was performed by Charles Newton.

I am descended as follows:

•  Martha Mellor (1821-1894) married Joseph Sigley (1819-1885)
• their daughter, Mary Sigley (1849-1890) who married  Isaac Wain (1850-1932)

Meaning of Dermot

Dermot

This is the Anglicised form of the Irish name Diarmaid, now also used elsewhere in the English-speaking world. In Irish legend, Diarmaid was the lover of Gráinne, who had been promised to the ageing hero Finn mac Cumhaill, leader of the Fianna. The lovers eloped, but were pursued for sixteen years by Finn; according to one version of the story, Diarmaid was eventually killed by a wild boar and Gráinne died of grief.
