Title: Death/Burial Record Lookup Please.
Post by: hpjrt on Monday 20 March 06 17:14 GMT (UK)

Hello,

I am trying to find the death date of NEHEMIAH LEA who was baptised in Windrush on June 2, 1783.  He was married to Ann Maides on February 17, 1806 in Eastleach Turville. 

A friend looked for him and his wife Ann on the 1841 Census for Gloucestershire, but couldn't find him with any variation of his name ... so I presume he died before 1841.

A check of the Death index between 1837 through 1841 didn't find either of them ... so now I know that he died prior to 1837 ... unless his death wasn't registered in 1837.

The entire family stayed within 5 miles of the Northleach/Eastleach/Windrush area for at least 100 years ... however, there are about 100 parishes in that particular 5 square miles ... *sigh*

If someone could look at the parish records for me I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for any help.

I've checked the National Burial Index (NBI) and the only Nehemiah LEA I could find buried, fairly locally, is as follows:-
St Matthew, Langford, Oxfordshire, Burials:-
1798, Nehemiah LEA
There is no record of his wife Ann in the same graveyard.

Hope I've got it right this time?
