John LUSSENDEN, bachelor of East Malling parish, Kent, m Ann LEANEY, spinster of the same parish, in that parish church on 21 Apr 1835. Both signed. Witnesses were Marshall (?) and George WOODZELL [Parish records. I have a copy-Lesley]

Son, Leonard's marriage entry gives John's occupation as confectioner. I initially assumed that John and Ann are also the parents of Frank Lussenden, also a confectioner, because Frank's daughter said she was named after her grandmother Ann Woodzell Leney and Leonard used Frank as a middle name for his son. Now I have found the 1851 census entry which proves that I was correct.

From the following notice in the London Gazette we can see that John was in partnership with his wife’s father or brother as wholesale confectioners until 1849.

London Gazette Issue 20940 published on the 30 January 1849. Page 12

Look in 1841 census for East Malling for John LUSSENDEN and Ann and maybe other members of the families. Also look in County Directories, in the trade section, seeing that the trade of
confectioner appears in the family.
