Title: Goodleigh Parish - LEE
Post by: dmaxwell81 on Sunday 22 September 13 01:21 BST (UK)

I am looking for the baptisms of the Lee children in the parish of Goodleigh Devon.  These would be children of John H Lee and his wife Ann Woolway.

Names should be Henry, Edwin, I believe a couple more.  They were married in 1843, so it would extend from about then to around 1851.

I don't know if is possible, but I wonder if transcripts of said baptisms might be possible (so I can cite them better).   I am also hoping their marriage may be in Goodleigh but I have been told it is in nearby Shirwell.

Yes that is them.  They left soon after for Illinois, and John was killed in 1862 in the Civil war.

I will have a couple more requests related to this family but I want to get the most recent info first.

Thanks for your help.
