JOHN BELCHER was baptised on the 7th of September 1796 at St
Mary`s Marylebone. He married Mary Anne Leigh on the 6th of April
1816 at St Giles Cripplegate. Mary Anne was the daughter of John
Leigh and Sarah Robinson of Enfield and was baptised at St
Andrews Enfield. She was very proud of the Leigh family name
insofar as the christian names of most of her children grand
children and great grand children included the name Leigh.
Shortly after their marriage John and Mary Anne moved to Enfield
where, in the Market Square, he continued his trade as a Stone
Mason and Letter Cutter. I would imagine that there would be much
evidence of his work on the tombstone in St Andrews Churchyard.He
died aged 56 on the 21st of June 1852 from a stomach cancer. Mary
Anne outlived him and died on the 9th September 1872 at her home
in Church Road Enfield of old age (77 years). In the 1861 census
she is described as a nurse. Later she ran a small boarding
school for children assisted by her daughter Mary Anne and her
grandson Edward a pupil teacher.
John and Mary Anne are buried in plot 14 St Andrews churchyard
Enfield. I was informed by the verger that a third person was
buried in this grave. A scrutiny of the church burial register
might reveal this information
