Mmm ... tasty!

I am trying to find out more about my great great great grandfather James OSBORN.
According to the 1851 Census he was born at Lee Common near Chesham in 1781.
He may have married his wife Mary there, sometime before 1816. (Possibly in St. John the Baptist as they were C of E). He was an ostler and his son William become one too, so James' father may well have been one as well. That's as much information as I have.
Any help to confirm James OSBORN's birth details and the maiden name of his wife Mary would be most welcome.
Thanks
Christopher

I have access to St Johns at the Lee. There is no record of the birth of your James and no record of any Osborn/Osborne/Osbourne's marrying in that church. A footnote says the population during this time was an unchanging 125.
This is the list of ALL the baptisms & burials

The IGI has one baptism at The Lee not included in Jenny's list:
28 Nov 1779 Jas. son of James and Fanny HOSBORN
Despite the fact that his date of birth is a little out I think this could be your man. I also think that his parent's are actually James and Susanna and that the vicar made an error when recording his mother as Fanny. Either way, I can't find a marriage between a James OSBORNE and Susanna or Fanny in the Bucks section of the IGI. Why not try the Buckinghamshire Family History Society's Marriage Database at www.bucksfhs.org.uk There will be a small fee to pay but it's excellent value for money.
