Hi Taffy John I have a Martha LEAY in my tree Martha was bap 28 Feb 1813 Upton married Thomas SHERLOCK bap 3 Oct 1813 West Kirby They had one daughter Margaret b 1833 Thomas drowned in 1861 Martha died 1885 and left £468 10s 2d in will. Martha's parents were John LEAY and Margaret ? Only other children I have found so far are Ann (Nancy) b 1811 Martha above 1813 Margaret 1825 On 1841 census there is a Sarah LEAY aged 7 I would think too young to be John and Margaret's child so either a niece or grandchild? Thomas SHERLOCK is my 3rd Gt uncle Not sure if there is a connection?

Hi Taffy Ada Annie LEAY (b1861 Rock Ferry) features in my family tree by virtue of her being my 6th cousin 4 times removed. :-) So presumably your great-grandfather is in there somewhere too? I have Ada Annie as a daughter of Joseph LEAY (b1813 Mollington) and his 2nd wife Ann HUGHES, with siblings :- 1851 William (m Ellen McALLISTER 1871 in Birkenhead St Mary) 1852 Elizabeth 1854 James 1859 Robert Plus half-siblings from Joseph's 1st marriage to Jane MAINWARING nee GREGORY :- 1840 Ellen Rebecca 1842 Sarah 1844 Joseph 1846 Thomas (m Ann COE 1869 in Liverpool St Peter) Joseph (b1813 Mollington) is believed to have been a son of Peter LEAY (b1779 Burton) and Ellen nee WALTON, who married 28 February 1813 in Backford St Oswald. Peter (b1779) is believed to have been a son of Peter LEAY and Ann nee WILSON (b1745 Burton), who married 13 April 1779 in Burton St Nicholas. This WILSON line traces back with reasonable certainty to a WilliamWILSON and Cicely nee FELLS (born c1584), who is my 9 x great-grandmother. William & Cicely were grandparents to Thomas WILSON (b1663 Burton), Bishop of Sodor & Man from 1697 until his death in 1755. Look forward to corresponding with you further should you consider we have a genuine connection? PS. William LEAY (b1851) and Ellen nee McALLISTER also had a daughter Ada Annie, born 1875 in Birkenhead.
