I don't know if this is the same John Lethbridge from Buckland Monachorum you mentioned. However if it is, and he is remarrying to this Sarah in 1806, and if the death in 1818 is hers, then he is unlikely to be the father of Francis John born 1807:

MARRIAGE:

First Name JOHN
Last Name LETHBRIDGE
Year Of Marriage 1806
Month Jun
Day 23
Place -
City Or Town -
Parish Buckland Monachorum
Bride First Sarah
Bride Last Name Baker
Groom First Name John
Groom Last Name Lethbridge
County Devon
Spouse Forename -
Spouse Surname -
Record set Devon Marriages
Category Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records

DEATH?

First Name SARAH
Last Name LETHBRIDGE
Year Of Death 1818
Month Oct
Day 07
Age 37
Year Of Birth 1781
Place BUCKLAND MONACHORUM
City Or Town -
Parish Buckland Monachorum
County Devon
Notes Of Churchtown
Record set Devon Burials
Category Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records
Record collection Deaths & burials

However John is a very common forename, so there may be more than one man of that name living and marrying in Buckland Monachorum.

?????

I wondered about this census entry for a John Lethbridge from Buckland living in London:

He is a joiner, which sits well with the house carpenter on the 1814 Plymouth baptism.

Wife's name is Jane. She may have been a later acquisition, but don't forget that Jenny was a diminutive of Jane, as well as a dimutive of Jennifer. So it's just possible that Jane could be the Jenny of the 1814 baptism, and the Jenny Lovis who married in Buckland Monachorum in 1797.

Census 1851:

Name: John Lethbridge
Age: 78
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1773
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Jane Lethbridge
Gender: Male
Where born: Buckland, Devon, England
Civil Parish: Limehouse
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England

Household Members:

John Lethbridge 78 c1773 Buckland, Devon, England
Jane Lethbridge 73 c1778 Tairslock, Devon, England

This may be the baptism of the grandson:

Baptism Date: 8 Jan 1827
Baptism Place: Birmingham, St Philip, Warwickshire, England
Father: James Gardner
Mother: Elizabeth Gardner

Thank you AnnCardiff and Kucinta.

Your extensive research falls in line with my own.

I stopped editing my tree here a couple of years ago and now maintain it on Ancestry.co.uk.

I much appreciate you posting all the info here.

Kind regards,

John Lethbridge (the umpteenth!) ;-)
