I have been tracing my ancestor Thomas LEE or LEA from the time he married Eleanor SPENCER at Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk in 1797 through to his death at Camberwell Workhouse Surrey in 1846 aged 76. (b 1770?) I have now become convinced that this man was born in Bletchingly, Surrey, per the IGI to parents Richard and Jane in 1778. The connection comes via a nephew Richard LEE (1817) sharing residence with Thomas and Eleanor in the 1841 census. Young Richard being the son of Daniel LEE a brother to Thomas, b Bletchingley 1782. That's the theory.
The problem is I could not locate the baptism entry (image) for neither brother's baptism years on Bletchingley records. Am I looking in the wrong place? maybe fresh eyes will have better luck?
Any help would be most appreciated.
cheers Bob
