HI Chris

Never managed to find Legge et al will have a closer look.
so thank you so much for this.
I'm going off line for a bit - small op this afternoon & a new baby granddaughter to visit.

Again thank you all so much

Hi Chris

No I never found Elizabeth Legge so thank you so much for finding her, she looks as if she is the Elizabeth I have been searching for.
With such a common name in Wales it has been difficult to sort which is which, others have said one and someone else another so waiting until I've looked into it a bit more before listing it :-)
Going to be off line for a while I've got minor surgery later & a new granddaughter arrived yesterday to meet
again thank you all so much for your time and help.

Stephanie

So did you get back to Elizabeth Legge (or variants) then?...

Not sure if you had any Birth Certs/Baptisms?...

Chris :)

Hi Grey ghost
Yes indeed on first but won't be last she's 81/2
S

Stephanie - yes! We're on number 4, now the grand old age of 14 ½, wouldn't have any other breed. You're obviously a fan too ...........

Hi all
Sorry been away from a pc for a while.

Thank you so much for all your help it is the Tipton one I'm after. Got all the census info and I think 1841 has wrong birth location?! As William's family is same. On all the census.
I i know Edwin 1837 was shoemaker, as far as I know (from all the census) William was miner.
Also Have marriage info RE Rhoda Doughty / caddick too but not earlier one to Elizabeth.

Sorry it's very confusing but have just hit wall re any life before 1841.

I go back thru dad Michael Wilding to Reginald W to Samuel to Edwin back to William then hit brick wall.

Grey ghost are you a weim owner by any chance?

I have William and Elizabeth in 1841 Census living in Knighton where William was a shoemaker, then in 1851 living in Dudley as a coal minerFather of Edwin Wilding b abt 1837 a shoemaker also, in Birmingham. the only info I have is from Edwin's second marriage certificate is that his father's name was William and that he was a miner, and his mother's name was Elizabeth
