Hi Sandra,
Thankyou so much for all your information on the Sleigh family, I cannot believe how much info you have found. It will take days to get it all onto my family tree. I clicked on one of your links and found that my great grandfathers [Alexander Sleight] brother David Sleight also came over to Dresden about 1863/4, his wife was Jane Stuart/ Stewart and 7 of their nine children were born there, info which I didn't have. After I get all your info on the Sleight family onto my family tree, I will be back in touch with you if I need further research done. Once again thankyou for all your wonderful help, You  are absolutely a brilliant researcher, THANKYOU

Thanks Jonty - I did see the piece on David Sleight but hadn't got around to investigating him further. Was to much of a coincidence  when it said he came from Northumberland.
