Christening of Ann Lee in the IGI on 8 November 1713 in Cranley, Surrey, Father John Lee. There is an entry in Ancestry England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 with the same information.

Entry in Ancestry Surrey, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812 for the baptism of Ann Lee on 8 November 1713 at Cranleigh, St Nicholas, father John Lee. "1713 [...] Ann ye daughter of John Lee Weaver was baptized November 8th 1713".

Her two brothers and sister were also christened in Cranleigh from 1716 to 1723.

Marriage of Ann Lee and Jonas Chitty in theIGI on 25 June 1738 at Cranley, Surrey. The same information is Ancestry England, Select Marriages, 1538-1973.

Similar information is in the West Surrey Family History Society West Surrey Marriage Index adding both were of this parish and it was by banns.

Entry in Ancestry Surrey, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812 for the marriage of Ann Lee and Jonas Chitty on 25 June 1738 at Cranleigh, St Nicholas. "An Account of the Marriages Wh: happened at Cranley in the year 1736 [...] Marriages att Cranley J738 [...] Jonas Chitty and Anne Lee both of this Parish, were married June the 25th 1738 ewith Banns".

All the children were christened in Cranleigh, his name being spelt Iones in the case of Anne, and the surname being spelt Chitty in all cases. Her name, Anne, is only given for Jonas and James. However the will also mentions a daughter Sarah, and the only possible christening for her is the daughter of Jones Chitty in Shere in 1746 (which fills a gap in the other christenings). The will also mentions Henry, but I can find no christening for him, but he was most likely born about 1743.
