Surnames: Leeson, Brett ,Shepard
Am looking for info on the children of Francis & Elizabeth Raynor Leeson who married Feb. 21, 1802 at Southwell. I believe there were 6 children: Sarah, Maria, John, Thomas,
Elizabeth, & William. Thomas born 1808 married a woman named Sarah, maiden name unknown. He & William left for America about 1842, believe the others remained. John may have married Ann Brett & died about 1884. Elizabeth may have married a man named Shepard. I have found nothing on Sarah or Maria other than christening dates of 1804 & 1805.
Francis born about 1776 was the son of John & Sarah Waywood Leeson who married in Nottinghamshire Nov. 22, 1774. They had at least 2 other children John & Elizabeth.

My 4X great grandparents were George Cullen and Elizabeth Leeson. They were married in Upton Nottinghamshire 1712. Their two sons George and Gervas were christened in 1719 in Westborough cum Doddington in Lincolnshire. I don't have any birth or death information for George and Elizabeth. Do you know abt Elizabeth Leeson's parents and sibling. Upton is the parish next to Southwell.

If you have any information, I would greatly appreciate it.

My earliest known ancestor is a John Leeson born about 1718 in Southwell. Info is difficult to come by this far back. Our lines are likely related, but I don't have any useful info. I did note 3 Elizabeth Leesons born in the early to mid 1690's in Nottinghamshire, none of in the exact locations you mentioned.
