Richard Smedley

[Sheard]

I have come to a dead end in trying to trace the parents of Richard Smedley born in Diseworth, Leicestershire circa 1811.  He married a Hannah Frogget in Blackfordby chapel in October 1832.  I have information on him from census 1841 onwards until his death in 1882 in Belton.  Any help on tracing his parents would be very gratefully received.

Sorry - wrong reply.  There is a Richard Smedley married to Hannah Butler but living in Derbyshire hence confusion.  His father was Francis
