Hi Fay, I think we have actually had communication many moons ago as I recognise your name!
Unfortunately I have no George Lea in my family. Do you happen to know his parents names as there might be a link there. The Cheshire records are available on line back to the 1600's and I have taken my line back to 1690, but haven't done a lot of research on branches of my Lea family, only the direct line.
I do, however, have a Moores in my family. Hannah Moores born 1802 (could she be a sibling of your Mary Moores?), married Richard Lea. I only have the name of Hannah's father, which was Francis Moores. Hannah died young (childbirth?) being only 33years old.
If you would like to discuss any of this further, please write direct to
dmlfamilyhistory@gmail.comand I will try to help any way I can.
Kind regards, Diana (Tropical Far North Queensland, Australia)
