Hi Maurice,

Yes, Sabina is my family, although I have the name spelt Sabrina.  She is my great-grandfather' sister.  His name is Thomas (1848.  I notice his name was not included in your list,  Possibly he was somewhere else at the time.  He was the 6th child.

I was pleased you saw the Site.  I was most honoured to be included in this.  My grandmother and her family came to Canada in 1909 and brought those pictures with her.  They sat in a drawer wrapped in tissue paper for years.  When I became involved with Paul Thompson, Church Archivist, I told him I would send him copies of the pictures, and so you read there was a little story compiled.  My mother and grandmother would be so pleased that these pictures have been returned home to their rightful  place.  We are looking close to 100 yrs.

I did receive the CD you mentioned, but I was unable to open it.  I tell all my e-mail friends that I live in a rural community where we do not have "high speed internet" and so therefore, there are just a lot of things that are unable to be opened  We are connected through our telephone, so if we lose telephone service, you are not going to get to use your computer.

I really do appreciate all your help, and I hope that if you come up with any more information, please pass it on.

Regards,

Doris

Maurice,

I thank you for your kind offer and it would be appreciated.  Not being familiar with the area.  Do you have to drive into Lilleshall and does it mean a lot of travel?

I am thinking of William Leese and Esther and their children: Mary (1761);  Sarah (1765);  Esther (1768);  William (1770);  James (1772); Robert (1774)

And also Maurice, if I could prevail on your good nature, and when time presents itself, could you please try and find information on my great aunts and great uncles.  They are: William Thomas Leese (abt. 1870);  Sabina Leese (abt. 1877);  William H. Leese (abt. 1884);  Harriet Leese )abt. 1887); Albert E. Leese (abt. 1889).  There is also Julia;  John;  George;  Leonard;
Joseph (my grandfather.  These latter names I have a certain amount of information.  My great grandparents were Thomas Leese & Sarah Ann Bradley.

At your convenience, see what help you can get me.

Thank you.

I appreciate your help on James Leese.  I had only approx. birthdate (1772)

Thank you again.

Hi Tati,

Thank you very kindly, I will take a look at that FreeBMD site.

Tati.

Thank you so much.  You have cleared up the mystery, on checking this makes perfect sense.

If I could ask you one more favour, could you find anything out about Albert E. (Herbert's brother) William Thomas, born in 1870.  I had checked out William Thomas before, but a relative of mine thought it was William Francis, but I am convinced it is William Thomas.

Again let me tell you how much your help is appreciated.

Thank you.
