I believe I am descended from John Leese and Prudence Owen who married in Caverswall on 19 Aug 1827 (Source: IGI). They had at least 7 children (Source: IGI) being
John – baptised 21 December 1828
George – baptised 19 June 1830
Joseph – baptised 25 September 1831
Edward Titus – baptised 20 July 1834
Agnes – baptised 24 April 1836
Caroline – baptised 2 May 1838
Henry – baptised 28 March 1841.
Their son Edward Titus Leese went on to marry Mary Locker in 1859 in St Peters in Stoke.
The 1881 census sees Edward Titus and Mary living at 94-96 High Street (RG11/2734/82/2) with their children
Hannah Leese – aged 19
Edward Titus Leese – aged 17
Adam Leese – aged 15
Lucy Leese – aged 11
Albert John Leese – aged 9
Joseph Leese – aged 7
Sarah Ann Leese – aged 5
France Gertrude Leese – aged 5
George Leese – aged 4
Their son Edward Titus Leese married Millicent Pyatt in 1884 in St James in Longton.
Edward Titus Leese and Millicent Pyatt were my great great grandparents.
The 1901 census sees Titus and Millicent living in Longton with their children (RG13/2615/116/14)
Titus – aged 16
Maud – aged 14 (my great grandmother)
John – aged 13
Joe – aged 11
Gertrude – aged 7

Hi, Does anyone have any info on who John's parents were. On the 1841 census there are a Thomas Leese born 1806, who could be his brother. There is also a William born 1771, wife is supposed to be Nancy, but i cannot find any marriages for a William and Nancy ot any births for a John or Thomas with parents of those names. On 1841 cencus William has no wife, and there are quite a few deaths between 1841 and 1851 so any could be William. Also no deaths for a Nancy Leese from 1837-1841. If anyone can help would be very grateful. Regards Maxine.

I share John Leese and Prudence as my great great grandparents, Edward Titus Leese and Mary Locker as great grandparents, and their son George as my grandfather. Have found the same problem with anyone before John. Have photographs of Edward Titus and Mary, the fish shop etc happy to share.

Ancestry has a baptism of a John Leese on 4 May 1800 at Bagnall. Father is William Leese. Mother is Nancy Leese.
On the 1841 census there is a William Leese aged 71 living next door to John Leese and his family.

I would love to see some photos. I have seen one or 2 outside a shop but no idea who the people are.
Thanks

I have seen this baptism but there is also another John Leese in 1804 in Cheshire with same parents names.
But one to investigate further.

I have been looking at John and Prudence marriage in parish registers .
The witnesses are William and Ruth Bullock.
I did find a marriage of William Bullock to Ruth Leese in 1824 in Stoke. Wonder if maybe perhaps she is a relation/sibling of John?
-
Witness to the Marriage of Ruth/William was a GEORGE Leese.
Death Reg;
BULLOCK, RUTH age 39
GRO Reference: 1847 J Quarter in STOKE UPON TRENT Volume 17 Page 154
I cant see a bapt for Ruth Leese c 1808

Although there is a baptism in Cheshire, I think your John Leese is more likely to be the one baptised at Bagnall. On the various census returns, he gives his birthplace as Werrington/Endon/Stanley which are all places close together in the Staffordshire Moorlands
