Hi Gordon You say- 'I have Ada Annie as a daughter of Joseph LEAY (b1813 Mollington) and his 2nd wife Ann HUGHES, with siblings' The 1881 census shows Ada Annie b1875 as the daughter of William b1851 and Ellen McALLISTER therefore granddaughter to Joseph b1813 Mollington not daughter. This seems about right as Joseph would be 62+ and Ann 51 not impossible to give birth but....

What a ride!" -----Original Message----- From: eng-merseyside-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-merseyside-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Gordon Evans Sent: 28 August 2010 9:08 PM To: eng-merseyside@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] Leay-Morris family from Birkenhead and Bootle 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.
