Find Ancestors

Hi,

I am trying to find out any information on a Herbert Lea born Circa 1863 in Derbyshire I think. He also had a son called Maurice Lea who died in the world war 1. I am ideally trying to find out who Herbert's parent were but struggling a little.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Tracy

Super Thank you so much! From the death record above I think this may have been another child.

Being cheeky now! I don't suppose anyone can find the marriage of his mother and father or earlier censuses???

Thank you so much for all your help though!!

I looked at the original and for definite on the 1891 the son looks like Horace Edwin.

And never worry about being cheeky. Chances are by the time I've pressed send on this message, it will already have been found :-D

Thank you!! :-)

This is the right family for 1851

Tracy I apologise. I've messed up and am going to go back over everything to do a double check for the correct family.

A very bad mistake but put it down to tired old eyes. Back in a few mins.J :-(

There are two families with very similar information. One from Derbyshire and the other from Northampton.

The Maurice Bertram Lea belongs to the Northampton family. They connect to the butcher occupation.

The Derbyshire family connect to the mines.

I managed to mix them up too and I think I know why.

Going to try to divide them up (painful)

Going to post again from scratch

Sorry Tracy. I've removed the confused contributions from me. Hopefully the rest will be correct as I add them. J

The 1851,71 and 81 are correct I think.

Going to try and find in the 1861 :-S
