Looking for family of Thomas Leslie LEIGHTON
« on: Monday 18 November 13 05:21 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for family of Thomas Leslie LEIGHTON, b abt 1875 in Kincardineshire. His parents were James and Margaret Leighton.   Thomas Leslie married Louise Katherine HODGES in 1905.  The family moved to New Zealand with their children, Phyllis Margery (b 1908); Kathleen J (b 1910); Leslie Gordon McCondach (b 1911) and (*) (b1917). Any information will be much appreciated.  :)

Just to clarify, are you looking for his family in Scotland or New Zealand?

I'm currently researching the NZ connection although I am also keen to find out more about their lives before they left England. Thanks for your reply.

They left Southampton on 5/3/1921 on board 'Remuera'.   Third child is listed as 'Gordon L.' so may have been known as Gordon.

I will move this thread to the New Zealand board as that is your main priority - you may wish to post a separate request for specific information in London or Birmingham.

Thank you for this information. I think the family went to Christchurch and moved on from there.
