Hi Jeanne, Thanks for that info re Bywater, I don't think she is the one, she is very elusive!! There don't sem to have been many Bywaters in the Potteries area where my Grandmother was born and lived. Our Leese connections were from Chell & Tunstall, and there doesn't appear to be a Charles or a Joseph, sorry. Regards, Keith in N.Z. where it's pouring down!!

Hi Jeanne, I didnt catch the earlier part of this correspondence. Just on the off chance that there is a conection, I do have a Joseph Lees(e) (b 1839/40 Tunstall) and a Jospeph Lees (b c. 1700 Biddulph m Ann). No Charles though. Any connection ?
