There's a couple of suitable candidates on family search:

Henry Lewis b. 8/1/1810  bp 11/1/1810  St. Margaret, Leicester parents John & Elizabeth

Henry Lewis b and bp 9/2/1810 Wigston Magna, Leicestershire parents William & Elisabeth

Hi Trish
Thanks for that info. I think that is him also but on one of the census it says he was born in Alcess Leicester well there is no such place. After many years of deciphering the writing of the enumerator we worked out that it was All Saints just written very badly. So we are confused when on the 41 census it states St Margaret's Leicester. Do you have any thoughts.

On the 1841 census he was living in St Margarets Parish, Leicester.  The place of birth question (Yes) confirms he was born in the county of Leicestershire not the town of Leicester

I noticed that Henry's brother, John, baptised at All Saints on 13th August 1803 was living next door but one to Henry in 1851. His birth place is All Saints, the correct transcription of Alcess.

The first baptism for the family is William in 1801, although there may have been Fanny in 1797, entered as Lewit. The baptisms were in the adjoining parish of St Margaret's, but I can't find a marriage for John and Elizabeth.

David.

Yes I had noticed that John was living in the same street as Henry. Just wish I could find out more about their parents. there is some conjecture that the Mothers Name was Elizabeth Cartwright who was married to a Henry Lewis but cannot find any proof of this

Looking at Familysearch.Org John/Elizabeth christened children St Margarets 1801/1818.

There is a John Lewis living in St Margaret 1841 Census.
Age 65 (1776), occp Beer Seller

There is a possible Marriage 28 January 1801 Pedmore, Worcester to Elizabeth CLARK
If correct 1st Son William was only christened a few months later St Margarets 19 June 1801
