I share John Leese and Prudence as my great great grandparents, Edward Titus Leese and Mary Locker as great grandparents, and their son George as my grandfather. Have found the same problem with anyone before John. Have photographs of Edward Titus and Mary, the fish shop etc happy to share.

I would love to see some photos. I have seen one or 2 outside a shop but no idea who the people are.
Thanks

Ancestry has a baptism of a John Leese on 4 May 1800 at Bagnall.  Father is William Leese.  Mother is Nancy Leese.
On the 1841 census there is a William Leese aged 71 living next door to John Leese and his family.


I have seen this baptism but there is also another John Leese in 1804 in Cheshire with same parents names.
But one to investigate further.

Hi, Does anyone have any info on who John's parents were. On the 1841 census there are a Thomas Leese born 1806, who could be his brother. There is also a William born 1771, wife is supposed to be Nancy, but i cannot find any marriages for a William and Nancy ot any births for a John or Thomas with parents of those names. On 1841 cencus William has no wife, and there are quite a few deaths between 1841 and 1851 so any could be William. Also no deaths for a Nancy Leese from 1837-1841. If anyone can help would be very grateful. Regards Maxine.

I have been looking at John and Prudence marriage in parish registers .
The witnesses are William and Ruth Bullock.
I did find a marriage of William Bullock to Ruth Leese in 1824 in Stoke. Wonder if maybe perhaps she is a relation/sibling of John?

Although there is a baptism in Cheshire, I think your John Leese is more likely to be the one baptised at Bagnall. On the various census returns, he gives his birthplace as Werrington/Endon/Stanley which are all places close together in the Staffordshire Moorlands
