Thanks - I should have been clearer, I meant does anyone have access
to Claines parish records, as I've been unable to find what I need in
the census.

I know J W Lea had more than two children as I found a photo of
Charles' gravestone in Powick online and it says he's the 4th son, but
as you've noticed the only ones listed in the census are Laura and
Charles. I also found J W Lea in a hotel in London in the 1851 census.

I wondered if Claines parish church would have records of
christenings, as it's the other children I'm interested in.

Thanks

Matt
