LEEKE and WILKINSON

[kingskerswell]

Aghadowey,
                  Please ignore this if you are already aware but I can find the marriage of John Leek to Margaret Allen in Tamlaghtard Church of Ireland, Magilligan on 24 Aug 1846. The only child I can find is Edward Fleming Leek, born 27 May 1866 in Bellarena Registration District.

Regards

IGI also lists Joseph LEEKE born 24 Feb.1864 Bellarena district. There were probably other children born before civil registration started in 1864.

There's quite a few pages- too much (and some too recent) too put here but I can send it to you offline when I get my scanner re-connected to computer if you are interested.

I would love to see those pages Aghadowey. I think I know who was being quoted too. There is some info there that I'd never heard before and I've only ever seen one picture of Charles Leeke sat in a motorcar and that was a very long time ago. Must see if I can get the Leekes to dig out these pics and send them cyber! How could we arrange for me to see the pages you quoted from safely Aghadowey?

The family details were from B's daughter K written in 1983. Have to go out shortly but will send you my email address later by PM (personal message).

Have finally found Rose Cottage! right where it always was- in the townland of Cullycapple just across from St. Mary's (present chapel).

Again referring to the Griffith website, this appears to be property number 15 in Cullycapple, occupied by William Thompson at the time.

Looking at the (modern OS) map of Cullyrammer, Rose Lodge is marked and appears to be closer to Mayoghill than Sam Lyttle's farm - approximately equating to the neighbouring farm of Robert Lyttle in Griffith.

Yes, the property was William Thompson's in Griffith's and Ironmongers' Notes on Tenants (1863) but by 1886 Tenants List was part of Thomas H. Marks'.

Dates with no indication of birth or death remain as yet obscure
My Leek records in Tamlaghtard begin with:

George Leek – Recorded in 1826 Tithe Applotment Books, townland of South Duncrun. 1831 Census, lists one George Leek living in Tamlaght, not necessarily the same person  
Francis Leck, d: 26 Dec 1837 - Father of John (who married Margaret) – certain,(possibly) the father of Francis (b: 1810) as well, Ballymultimber, Tamlaghtard recorded 1826 Tithe Applotment Books
John Leek, b: 1789, Margy  d: 21 June 1881 (92 yrs) – The Primary Valuation of Ireland (Griffith Valuation) lists two John "Lecks" when the Magilligan records went to print in 1858, a typographical error. A John Leck lived Duncrun (7), and a John Leck lived in Margymonaghan (1b). The burial record for this John mentions Duncrun. Is this the brother of Francis, above?
