Does anybody have any information about the family of Leah Flitter, b1833, who married Joseph Ranscombe in 1853 in Bray?

Welcome to Rootschat :)

What do you know about Leah and what would you like to find out?

Have you found her in censuses before her marriage?

What do the censuses after marriage tell you as to her birthplace?

Do you have her paternal details, witness names (etc) from her marriage registration?

I see that as “Lear Fritter” aged 7 she is in Bray in 1841, semi-attached to the household of Frederick and Charlotte Johnson. “Lear” is enumerated as not born in the county of Berkshire, consistent with the 1861 census for her as Leah Rancomb, 27 b Lambeth Surrey.

Other censuses for Leah show her born in Bray - an understandable mistake if she was there from an early age.

Going by the GRO Births it looks as though Fred JOHNSON's wife was a FLITTER.

JOHNSON, MARY     mmn    FLITTER

Perhaps she was Leah's mother.

The Johnsons are still in Bray in 1851 (as Frederick and Caroline*), but Leah is not in the household.

Ref: HO107/1694/75/5.

*She reverts to “Charlotte” in later censuses.

Also bapt to John & Mary in Warfield: George “Tritter” 14 Nov 1802; Ann “Frither” 4 Nov 1804.
