Looking for Richard Lee
« on: Saturday 29 January 11 07:46 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for a previous marriage for Richard Lee.

I already have this marriage at Wansford, Northants in 1820:

Richard Lee otp widower and Ann Cawham (Cowham) otp spinster.

Richard and Ann had 4 children born in or around Wansford

Frances 1821
Sarah 1823
Mary 1825
Richard 1826

I have no parents or birth date for Richard, and nor do I have a burial. I suspect he may have come from one of the other counties adjoining Northants.

In the 1841 Census, Ann is alone with 2 of her children, so Richard must have died or left, somewhere between 1826 and 1841.

Ann Lee (Cowham) appears in the 1851 Census at Wansford as a widow, born in Hull, living with Fanny (Frances) and Richard.

Ann died in 1852 at Wansford.

Any ideas who Richard Lee was?


Thanks
