Find Ancestors

I am trying to confirm the identify of the parents of my great, great, great, grandfather. They would have been born in the late 1700's.

My great, great, great grandfather was Francis John Lethbridge, born 1807 in Plymouth, Devon and his (oldest?) son was Francis John Lethbridge born in 1834 in Lambeth - then part of Surrey. His other children were born in Clerkenwell.

There is a baptism in Plymouth St Andrews parish for a Francis John Lethbridge on 19 June 1814. The record says 'said to be born 11 Nov 1807'. The parents are recorded as John and Jenny. John was a house carpenter.

Several family trees show a John Lethbridge, born c.1778 in Buckland Monachorum, near to Plymouth, who was married to Jenny Lavis (and later had two other wives!). They are recorded as only havng had two children, Jenny c. 1800and William c. 1804,

Jenny is thought to have died in 1806, but can anybody help me to confirm this? Does anybody know where her gravestone is in Buckland Monochorum? Plymouth Records Office show her as Jenny Lovis.

My great, great, great grandmother was called Grace Walters and she was born in East Looe, Cornwall in 1808.

She married Francis J. in 1836, when their son was two years old!

My ancestors all lived in the Clerkenwell area of London (then Middlesex) between 1841 and 1901.

I have quite a comprehensive family tree from 1807 to the present day and have contact with several other members tracing the Lethbridge family.

Any fresh info on Lethbridge's in Buckland Monachorum, Ermington, Ivybridge, Plymouth, Plympton, London, Middlesex and Surrey in the late 1700's/early 1800's would be much appreciated.

John Lethbridge
