| Additional Notes | |
| Birth: | Jesse claimed he was born in Rotherfield - this is shown in each census in which he appears (the 1841 census shows him as not born in Kent). The clergyman who recorded the baptism, probably only recorded the date of birth, without recording where the child was born, because there was only space for a date, the margin being used for this purpose. Since he was baptised at Groombridge Chapel ("Groombridge for Speldhurst"), it is likely that his parents lived at Park Corner when he was born. This is in the top end of the old Rotherfield parish, which butted up to Speldhurst parish, and Groombridge Chapel is closer by several miles to Park Corner than Rotherfield church. |
| Burial: | Confirmed by gravestone at St Mary, Leigh. |
