Ok, having looked at all of this evidence and doing some more digging myself, I believe that my 3x Great Grandfather John Measures is the one born 1798 in Packington and died 1844.  I believe that his wife was Ann Bishop born abt 1803 in Nailstone.

I believe that they had four children, all born in Normanton Le Heath:
Jane born 1830
Richard born 1838
John born 1842 (My 2x Great Grandfather)
James born 1844

I believe that Ann Measures (Nee Bishop) married Joseph Harris in 11846 in Market Bosworth and had Emma born 1849

Thank you to all who have been involved.

Emma Harris - registered 1848 - Ashby de la Zouch District - mmn = Bishop   :)

The births of the children surname Measures who are on the 1851 with Joseph & Ann Harrison are on freebmd.  I then checked GRO online & mothers maiden name was Bishop. As it was with Emma Harris

The 2 eldest children on the 1841 census appear to have been named after the 2 witnesses to the 1828 marriage

The only error in your research was with Ann's maiden name.  Everything else is correct

The GRO show John as 44 when he died but his burial entry is showing 46 so you will need to bear that in mind when researching him.  Richard may possibly have been his brother.  The 1851 has 2 Richard Measures in a similar age group - one b 1802 Packington and the other 1806 b Gilmartin.

Given that the 1802 Richard was born Packington if his parents are the same then they were brothers.

Ann's birthplace in 1851 is Donisthorpe & in 1861 Shackerstone

And I have an Elizabeth MEASURES bapt 10 Jan 1813 Normanton Le Heath. Father  Richard, labourer and mother Ann. Ref # on my copy of Bapt Register is DE1771/2 (though I don’t know the origin of that, sorry).
I believe she is the Eliz MEASURES who married George WAKELIN 19 Oct 1830 in Loughborough, All Saints.
Any use??

Hello
Jane Measures b.1829 Normanton le Heath was my 3x Great Grandmother. I was stuck at her parents John/Ann so this thread has been really helpful. Thanks.

I have a John Measures in my tree, who married Ann Barsby at Nailstone, in 1806 - is this of any interest?
