Hi
Don't know if this will help in anyway.


1881 census - Stanton house, Stanton Fitzwarren.

RG11  Piece / Folio     2014 / 129     Page Number     2

The Agar family are living there with loads of servants, one that might be of interest is a James Legg, aged 21 unmarried, Groom, born south leaze, wiltshire.

added: Death Mar Q 1883 - Amelia Ann Giles age 3 Highworth 5a 3....That's why she is not with her sister in 1891 and Alice is probably in service.

Maybe not in service....I found an Alice Giles age 16 with her Grandparents.....Stephen Legg and Susannah Legg.

    Some one on Ancestry has that tree giving Stephen and Susannah as parents to Bertha.

Ooooo....with a brother Stephen.......but he looks like a different Stephen that the one who lives at the house in 1881  ....using his second name Maurice as a first name

edited: I'm not sure what tangent I was on ....sorry 

[forthefamily]

There is a public tree on Ancestry that has both Bertha and Martha on it.

Bertha daughter of Stephen Legg and Susan Garrett
Martha daughter of George Legg and Jane Burchell

Can't verify if this information is correct
