This is my 2 times great grandfather. I know he was married to Margaret Maddocks Lea but I don't know when. I know Margaret Maddocks was born in 1834. I think John Lea was born about the same time in Whitchurch, Shropshire, England. Christening records, marriage records, their parents' names? Thank you for all your help!

Thank you all for helping me find some Lea relatives. I am so new at this that I need all the help I can get! What is so confusing is the repeating of first names! As it stands now, I am looking for information regarding John Lea's father, Edward Lea who married Mary. They would be my 3 times great grandparents.
I so appreciate your efforts on my behalf.
