Would sks check the outgoing passenger lists for me please.
William John LEGGETT born 1832.
In 1841 he is here with 2 aunts, his grandmother & a couple of cousins.
Class:HO107; Piece 701; Book: 6; Folio: 36; Page: 18;
In her will of 1848 his aunt Elizabeth MILES makes William her heir to inherit when he is 21.
1851 finds him living with Samuel PARKES & family. Samuel was left running the works until William attained 21.
Class: HO107; Piece: 1554; Folio: 282; Page: 35
With some difficulty I have found the works in '61, '71 & '81 & can see no family connection. I am wondering if when William inherited, he sold up & moved abroad.
The only other possiblity is a death registered in Strand Dist in 1856. If there is no other sign of him I'll send for that. If that is him I'm a little puzzled that there is no will.
Thanks for any help.
