Hi Katie ...

There are lots of LEESON marriages around 1730-1750 in the area around Newnham - too many to go searching for Samuel!

Have you considered Alan Clarke's Northamptonshire Baptism/Birth Index (1700-1750) - full details on his website at http://www.northants-familytree.net?  You can purchase it, but not sure about getting a look up.

If he lived to 1813 then his age will almost certainly be on his burial record, before that it may be included.

Hi! Taking a quick look in my family tree and I have Samuel! 

Samuel Leeson 1746 - 1808 Birth and Death Newnham
Married Sarah Elizabeth Whiting 31/10/1771 Newnham
His father I think was Thomas
His son I have as Charles Leeson B1783 Newnham who married Ann
They had Henry and Elizabeth in Braunston 1818 and 1826 respectively
haven't so far found any siblings for Samuel though
:)
