Not Sure Who His Mother Was ?

[milliemoo]

Hi All

Looking for parents of James Leese born 1852, Rugeley, Stafford, wife Ann Jane Massey Born 1853 Hanley Stafford.

Up to now I have found I think his father Richard Leese born 1813, Rugeley, Staff.
I have them together on the 1861 Census, but not a mother.

I have found 2 possible mums Fanny 1813 and Ann 1826, not found any birth or marriages for Richard or either wives.
Perhaps someone out there can help, I hope so ! !   

Thanks
Sue

Hi Tati

Just found the 1851 Census, Richard & Fanny, but no James on that one.
Thanks
Sue

Well, it was before he was born...

Was he James Sheldon Leese, registered Lichfield Dec 1852?

If so, this extracted IGI marriage looks promising:

Richard Smith Leese - Fanny Sheldon
7 Jan 1837 Wolstanton, Staffordshire

Yes!
He was James Sheldon, that was the birth I had.

How ever did you find the marriage ??
I have hunted and hunted but found nothing
I bow to your experience

Sorry to have to ask this, what is IGI and where do you find it
Thanks
Sue

Hi all..

the 1851 will confirm the Richard leese is living with Fanny in Brians lake Lane same address as 1861 (but without Fanny ).

The IGI is the International Genealogical Index. Far from complete but definitely one to bookmark!
(coverage is shown on Hugh Wallis' site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm)

It's on the LDS site:  www.familysearch.org

Found the marriage to Fanny and also I think Fanny's birth.   

Will have a look for wife No 2 now, Ann.

Thanks for all your help

Are you sure he was married twice? 

(Thomas dies in 1870 I believe?)
