I have a letter to an ancestor about his ancestors, I am looking for info on the Leath family.The letter states' You great grandmother was a Leath. Daughter of Doctor Leath an eminant Physician of Ggreat Yarmouth in Norfolk- he has also a son who is in the practice of Physic near Yarmouth.' The letter was posted 27 Nov 1809. Other surnames mentioned were ; Caldwell, Bromedge, Paulett, Duke of Bolton,  Clayton, Wrigh & Gill.
 If anybody is able to help me find info I would be very greatful.

Hi Paula
A letter posted in 1809, what a wonderful piece of history.

Maybe this site can help you www.genealogy/doun.org/transcriptions/

Otherwise post a few more details, names approx dates etc and someone may be able to help you get further.

happy hunting

Hi Paula,

The International Genealogical Index (www.familysearch.com) has quite a few marriages for LEATH in Great Yarmouth in the 18th & 19th Centuries.  There more than 200 records for LEATH in Norfolk on this site but to narrow in down to Gt Yarmouth, It's worth specifying the batch number in the search.  The batch numbers I've found for Gt Yarmouth marriages are:

M163154
M163155
M163158 &
M394094

but there may be others.

Good Luck!
