John Lea born Whitchurch, Shropshire, England

[Cynthia Lea Regnier]

This is my 2 times great grandfather.  I know he was married to Margaret Maddocks Lea but I don't know when.  I know Margaret Maddocks was born in 1834. I think John Lea was born about the same time in Whitchurch, Shropshire, England. Christening records, marriage records, their parents' names? Thank you for all your help!
