Who was Richard Anthony Addis prior to 1941

[softly softly]

I wonder if the 1871 digital death image might name the informant as Olive/Oliva.

Added: in 1871 census Olives occupation is noted as Landed Property, sounds like she inherited part of the farmlands, Alfred Lea is noted as a Student & Landowner in 1871.

Thomas Lea also left a will. Probate on Ancestry.

Thats great, SS. Would never have found it. Was looking for the marriage in Staff/Derby. Thanks again.

Emily Mary Lea's mother was Olive or Olivia Andrews. In the 1871 census, Olivia Lea is a widow living with her daughter.

Have you the £2.50 digital image for Emily Mary Lea birth, it should note a fathers name and occupation.

Thanks Ladyhawk. Had most of that but not in great detail.

Out of interest, Thomas' father, Joseph Lea married a Mary Symonds in Madley, 1796.
