Devon / Re: parents for John LEAN
« on: Friday 20 December 13 16:02 GMT (UK) »
I have the Death Certs for John & Ann , and his parents Thomas & Jenny
I am trying to find written proof for the parents and birth date of John Lean an English miner. The only clues I have are his marriage date of 26.3.1837 from the St Mellion parish records. He married Ann Burrow daughter of Benjamin and his wife Ann Dingle. The 1851 census has John born in 1816 in Beralston, Devon and living next door to Jane Lean(b 1794 in North Tamerton, Devon) and her children who are all born in Buralston, Devon. In the 1841 census Jane is living with her husband Thomas as Jenny Lean. In 1871 John is living in Wales and the census said he was born in 1816 in Buralston, Devon. John has a daughter called Jenny Sleep Lean.
I have found a woman called Jenny Sleep who was born in North Tamerton in 1794 to William and Joan Sleep. Lady next door in 1851?
I would be grateful for any help.
Thank-you
