I joined what I thought was somewhere to share photographs but you will find there is even more to POE--- enjoy yourself here!!! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I think there are probably a few people around here who can help you with the geneaology. If you are an anglophile, you will love it here. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I was able to help Syd discover his maternal family back to his great, great grandparents. I think we have narrowed it down to William Haigh & Mary Speight of Leeds and William & Elizabeth Burtenshaw of London, that is back now to about 1800. I am sure he and his family will have fun exploring further back! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Well, it must be as William Haigh b. 16 Feb 1788 St Peters, Leeds marries Mary Speight and their son Samuel b. 27 June, 1817--now at Chapel Allerton, Leeds----has come down to London and on 12 Jan 1854 at St Giles, Camberwell marries Elizabeth Farrar Burtenshaw and the couple go back to Leeds. I have my suspicions Samuel was named after his grand father. And a welcome from me too, Syd, and if you PM me, I'll send back copies of the 1820/1854 marriage records.
