Jemima Lea

Was a silk merchant and alderman according to http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=536&p=surnames.lea and needs to be investigated further

Marriage record from January 1774 states she was upwards of twenty one years of age and from St Olave, Southwark, Surrey. Probably died 1834 Beckenham, Kent, giving birth year of 1754 — Kent Burials.

Her daughter’s baptism shows her father to have been Delabere, and his will kindly suppplied to me by a descendant shows the Delabere in question was the Rev Delabere Pritchett subchanter of St David’s Cathedral in Pembrokeshire.

Richard Lea paid £200 for marriage to Mary Pritchett in 1774, record shows he was “upwards” of 26 years.

From information kindly supplied by Sue Green, via Facebook. Christened 28 Dec 1774 in Tabernacle Ind St Luke, Findsbury, London. Non-conformist baptist records list her mother as Mary, daughter of Delabiere Pritchett.

Father Richard. Daughter to add in, Sophia - in 1841 census, Windsor Terrace Bristol - age 20.

Baptised as Pierre Guillebaud on 25 July 1773 at the French Church at Threadneadle Street

Birth on FamilySearch

Presume Mary Ann died in childhood as there is record of her sister Mary Ann born in 1811 - wrong as found in 1871 census with husband William Baynton. So some confusion here.

“The land and patronage in the village of Thurgarton was in the hands of Trinity College Cambridge and they instructed a new house be built for the new vicar, Reverend Henry Lea Guillebaud. The plan of the house, originally called ‘The Manor House’ is still kept in the Nottinghamshire Archives and shows that not much has changed since it was first built.

“The 1851 census shows that Reverend Guillebaud was first living in the house as a batchelor with three live-in servants; a groom, housekeeper and a housemaid. He later went on to marry Jemima and had five children while continuing as the vicar of Thurgarton for 20 years, until 1872.”
