John Letts was born about 1800 at Haselbech in Northamptonshire where he was later an innkeeper and farmer.

Lucy Goddard was born about 1801 at Langton in Leicestershire. She and John were married at Thorpe Langton on 6th Feb 1826.

The The couple lived at Haselbech where their 7 (known) children were born, John was an innkeeper and farmer.

Note: Lucy's death certificate records her age as 52 (informant Ann Letts, her daughter). The layout of the memorial suggests that her name was added to her husband's memorial more than 10 years after her death, so it is likely that the error is here rather than on her death certificate.
