Hi All
A while ago i put a post up about a man named john lear c.1783 (motcombe, dorset) married to a frances lilley c.1795 and also a charlotte (surname unknown) c. 1791. He had these children :
Amaria (or amelia - hard to make out on records) c.1807, james c.1810, elizabeth c.1812, mary 1814, john c.1819, thomas c.1821, william c.1821, mathew c.1822, frances c.1824 and mark c.1827
I have got all this info from census records and dorset parish records (online version)
However, U can seem to go no further with John Lear and am finding this really irritating and ont want to give up as there are lears in motcombe, dorset parish records from the late 1500's onwards!!! I know his parents must be there somewhere, but I can't work out how and its been puzzling me for nearly two years whilst the rest of my family tree is expanding!!!
I have found a piece of aper in my folder stating only this:
"John's brother James? Mother Elizabeth Lear??? Illegitimate???"
Unfortunately I cannot recall where I got this idea from and knew that even then it was just a hunch.
If there is anyone that could help me solve this puzzle I would be so grateful!!
Thanks
Jodie
