Lelean Charles Gravesend, Kent 1890's onwards
« on: Friday 08 March 19 14:22 GMT (UK) »
Looking for a birth date, or to find out who the parents and siblings of Charles Lelean were.
Think he married Ethel Diwell in Gravesend Oct/Dec 1916. Perhaps there will be some military records.
He may have been born in Cornwall. His wife died and he emigrated to Australia. Sorry it is so sketchy.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

I've searched the GRO records so far no luck with a birth record

Purchase a copy of the marriage certificate it will give the name of his father.

Ethel Le Lean died age 27 registered September Quarter 1919 Gravesend (for anyone else looking)

Many thanks. I hoped that I could find the name of his parents, on his Naval records or perhaps his marriage certificate. I have been searching for Frederick William Lelean & his wife Elizabeth R. Mary Campbell, who may have been his parents. I have found nothing for either of these persons. As mentioned I hoped Charles Lealean's parent(s) may have shown up on some official paperwork.

Yesterday I searched BMD records for Cornwall and found a record showing the birth of Charles Lelean as 19th September 1892, Falmouth, Cornwall. I went onto the GRO site to order a copy and there was no record of this birth. Strange !

Apply instead to the local registry office where you found the entry instead of the main GRO.

Falmouth? a google search will give you an address 
Could have been missed.

The 1916 marriage will give the name of his father.

 Not sure about the 1928 marriage in Australia
