Richard Lee and Elizabeth Ann Corey

[Skull]

I'm looking for any children of Richard Lee and Elizabeth Ann Corey who married in Kilsby on 21st October 1790.

They may have had children in Kilsby, or Wansford. If this is the right Richard Lee, he died in Wansford in 1827. There are 2 burial dates of 1811 or 1820 for Elizabeth Lee in Wansford.

Richard later married Ann Cowham in 1820 in Wansford, and is recorded as being a widower.

Thanks, Skull

KEZIAH Lee married Joseph ESSEN 26 Sept 1826 St Faith, Kilsby
She is hard to find except 1871 Census, born c 1803 Kilsby.

Richard/Ann Lee seem to be still in Kilsby 1814 when they witness a Marriage of Mary Walker.

Found 1841 Census
Kilsby;
Kezia Essen, 35, Butchers Wife, ***
Thomas Pool, 25, Butcher
Marcey Lee, 40****
William Essen, 14
Ann Essen, 13

1861 Ann Essen is with her Uncle;
Richard Lee, 69, Head
Ann Essen, 31, Neice
Mary Cooke, 20

I noticed the imge on Anc of the 1790 Marriage has Elizabeth Ann Corey. But doesnt the Elizabeth seem to be crossed out?

Agreed ... Elizabeth is crossed out on the Parish Register, and the Bishop's Transcript has taken note of that and recorded her as Ann.
She signed the register as Ann Corey.
(all Anc**)

Thanks for that sugarbakers


Now something doesnt add up to me

1851 Census
Wansford, Northamptonshire
Ann Lee, 65, Head, Widow, Parish Allowance, born Hull, Yorkshire
Fanny Lee, 28, Daug, Unm, Servant, born Wansford
Richard Lee, 23, Son, Unm, Pitman, born Wansford

1841 Census
Ann Swart, 50, Seamstress, not born in County
Frances Swart, 19, Servant
Richard Swart, 14, Ag Lab

Now Richard wouldnt name 2 boys Richard.
The other Kilsby Family seems well off compared to Richard/Ann nee Cowham

Also there is aa burial in Kilsby for a ANN Lee age 36, this fits with Richard Lee/Ann Coreys Daug Ann Bapt 1796

I dont think they left Kilsby.

More on Keziah/Marey Lee;
1851 Census
Kezia Elson, 48, Widow, Butcher
Ann Elson, 22, Daug, Governess
William Elson, 24, Son, Butcher
Mary Lee, 53, Sister, Unm, Post Mistress

I put the 1861 for Richard Lee earler with Ann Essen in Household

1851 in Kilsby we have;
Richard Lee, 59, Head, Mar, Farmer 178 Acres, born 1792 Kilsby
Jane Lee, 59, Wife, Mar

aah just noticed Kezia Essen etc are next door in 1851

1841 Census
Richard Lee, 45, Farmer
Jane Lee, 45
