Henry Leake esq., Cork

[jamesbo]

Please can anyone help?
I'm trying to find any information about Henry Leake esq of Cork (I don't know if that is the city or the county).  I know that he had at least two daughters who married about 1805, so that means he would have had to have been born about 1780 or earlier. I know that by 1808, he was dead, and that he was probably C of I. I'd be very grateful for any help/suggestions,

Jamesbo

Very difficult given the timeframe you are looking at.
www.nationalarchives.ie  1901 Ireland census has entries for the surname

www.limerickcity.ie/media/limerick  the following:

Ennis Chronicle Sat 18th June 1805.
Married last Wednesday in Limerick. Mr William Alley , an eminent Tallow Chandler to Miss Eleanor Leake 2nd daughter of the late Henry Leake of Cork.

Hi ballydw,

First of all I'd like to say a big thank you for your help and your replies.  I understand the difficulty re the date, but it wouldn't surprise me if Henry Leake would have been mentioned in something like Debrett's Peerage, (as a younger son of a younger son?), but I cannot find any such suitable
reference book. Also, I wouldn't be surprised  if he was mentioned in some sort of legal aspect eg a will or property transaction. I cannot get to Cork myself, and all online attepts have been fruitless, so if anyone can help, I'd be so pleased.

You could also take a look at Peerage.com which has references to LEAKE. Another site is

Hi Ballydw,

Thanks once more for all that you have tried to do for me - unfortunately I have already drawn a blank on all those sites. I've been interested in the Leakes in Rathkeale for quite a while, but I cannot establish a link between them and my Henry Leake. It's all very frustrating! Again, all I can say, is that if anyone can shed any light on this, then please in touch.

Thanks again,

Jamesbo

Hi Jamesbo,

I can't shed light on Henry's daughters but I did find a death notice for him or it may be his
father???

In the Hibernian Chronicle newspaper Monday 27th Dec 1784  last Friday in Blarney Lane,
Mr. Henry Leake, tallow chandler.

A few more Leake entries as follows-

2 June 1827 In Tralee on Monday night , Barry the only son  of Barry Leake, Esq.

4 Nov  1817 on Monday last in Clonakilty in this Co. ( Cork) the lady of Richard B. Norcot Esq.,

Rathkeale Abbey in the Co of Limerick Esq.,

2 Aug 1762  Limerick, 29th July on Wed last died of a tedious illness in the 60th year of his age,

7 Feb 1771   died in Blarney Lane, Mr. Richard Leake   ( Cork City)

Possible Richard & Henry both of Blarney Lane, Cork may be related.

Thank you so much again,
