The Farming Stock will be sold on Wednesday the 21st, and the sale begin each day at eleven o'clock. This i think is my John LEECH born 1791 Bidden Farm, Upton Grey married to Mary TWYNAM of Whitchurch in approx 1811. I have googled on the name and bought up a lot about conservation of the area but any info that anyone can give me would be much appreciated. One of his children was born in Upton Grey in 1815 and the other in Odiham in 1813 but he came into alot of money in 1818 and 1821 so it would be interesting to see if this was indeed him. In 1841 he was in Surrey at Lea House, Witley with his cousin but no sign of his family, i have no idea of where he was between 1815 and 1841.
