I have a marriage George Wilson married Sarah Foster Dec qtr 1842 Blaby, Leicestershire 15-107.

I'm sure it's the right couple as their eldest son was called William Foster Wilson.

Other than Family Search, are there any other parish registers for Leicestershire online?

I've checked FreeReg, it isn't on there.

Don't really want to get the marriage cert.

There is a public ancestry tree which gives the marriage date as 6 Nov 1842 and place as Glenfield, Leics. They have George's father as George Wilson and Sarah's as William Foster.

And there is this Rootschat thread about George which says that the marriage cert shows his father as George Wilson, blacksmith:

Thanks Kate, I'll look into those. I don't think Blaby comes under the list of Mary's.

I've found him on 1851-1891 census quite easily but not on the 1841 yet.

One of those public trees is a complete work of fiction. I won't say which one.

I read somewhere recently that FMP have won the contract for digitising Leics PRs, so they should come online at some point.

The Blaby RD covers a very large area, with numerous parishes:

You may find some of them on FreeReg.

Not the one I wanted unfortunately.
