Post by: Skull on Thursday 23 June 22 08:06 BST (UK)
I'm looking for details of this couple who married 26 December 1723, and any children they may have had.

Thanks

Susanna was from the parish of Elton Hun and Richard from Wittering. They married 24 December 1723 in Thornhough with Wittering.

I can't see any baptisms in Northants.

Very strange as in the Thornhaugh parish register 1723 on Ancestry, the record states
Richard Lee of Elton in ye County of Huntingdon, Susanna Peers of Wansford were married Dec 24.

There are Lee/Lea baptism transcripts on Ancestry at Elton, Huntingdon, father Richard. However one only names father, one names mother as Anne and the other Hannah, so not conclusive.

Mary 1725, Anne 1726, Richard 1728.

Nothing for Susanna.

Mary Lee married John Pepper 20 Apr 1747 Elton, Huntingdonshire
They had a daughter Susanna in 1748

Ann Lee married William Strickson 19 Feb 1750 Elton, Huntingdonshire
They had a daughter Susanna in 1751

No marriage for Richard junior in the County but several elsewhere.

Hi All.

There is 1728 record for Richard Lee's burial in Elton being the son of Richard & Susanna.
06 May 1728.

There is also a burial for a Susannah Lee 21 Sep 1765 Widow at Elton.

Thanks to everyone.

I was hoping this line of the Lee family would lead me to the parents of Richard Lee born abt. 1762.

He married Ann Cowham in Thornhaugh 28 October 1820.

Richard Lee otp widower/Ann Cowham otp spinster.

He died in 1827 in Wansford aged 65.

He may have previously married Elizabeth Ann Corey 21 October 1790 in Kilsby, but I'm not sure that this is the same Richard Lee.

Richard Lee born 1763 Kelmarsh seems the most likely candidate.

His wife Elizabeth Ann Corey died in Wansford in 1820, the same year that he married Ann Cowham as a widower.

But I guess I'll never know for certain.

Thanks

As I indicated it looks very unlikely that the two marriages were the same Richard.
