Hello all - I am trying to track down any information on David LEAKE and/or anyone who came before him. Here is what I know so far:
1792 • Shiffnal, Shropshire, England
27 Jan 1812 • Wrockwardine, Telford, Shropshire, England
Jun 1858 • Shifnal, England, United Kingdom
-------------------------------
Their children were:
Richard Leake (1814–1886)
Hannah Leake (1816–1900)
Mary Leake (1819–)
Sarah Leake (1821–1900)
John Leake (1823–1874) - 23 Sep 1823 • Wrockwardine Wood ---*My 3rd great grandfather*
Thomas Leake (1825–1900)
Francis Leake (1827–1905)
David Leake (1830–1895)
James (1833–)
Elizabeth (1833–1905)
------
I am finding it quite difficult to find any information on him. Parish records and other resources have only shown his marriage to Sarah TILLEY. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Best,

These are all from FindMyPast that hold all Parish Registers from Shropshire Archives, so if you need to delve further this is where I would suggest you look.
Excellent! Thanks for your help Graham. Yeah, I was wondering how legit FindMyPast was/is, I guess I have my answer now.

Hello again - I just wanted to check in and see if anyone had any suggestions for other resources, online or other, that I could investigate? Ancestry.com has been a deadend and googling as well. Any help would be great. Thanks.
