George and Jane Leadbeater

Good evening everyone.
Dont know if you can help me with this. I have discovered via census that my great grandmother Ava Leadbeater was a resident in the Cherry Tree Orphanage: LEADBEATER, Eva (f) b. 16 Aug 1878 in Yorks., Sheffield, orphan from 16 Jul 1888 to 1 Oct 1894.

I thought I had her parents correctly listed in the family tree, unfortunately not the case.So have had to delete four generations........ I have been on Ancestry and Family search. But cant pin down George Leadbeater b 1855 died 16th May 1888, or his wife Jane ( maiden name not known) died November 19th 1884. They were married 27th november 1876, but I dont know where.

Anything would be gratefully received.
Many Thanks
Jackie

Hi
Following on from previous posts-
this is a possible baptism from this site

Batty, Jane (of ~, born 1851-05-25).
     Baptised November 9, 1851, by E Scully at St Maries, Sheffield Centre.
     Parents name(s) are Sarah Greaves & William (~).
     Note:
     Godparents: Eni Noyland, Cath Gibbons :Page No 267 :Reg No

and birth registration
