Title: Legood ,Heckingham
Post by: pwassy on Wednesday 27 January 10 04:29 GMT (UK)
Can anybody help, i have a birth certificate of my Great-Great Grandfather,George Nelson Legood,born at Union workhouse Heckingham,in1853,to a Charlotte Legood, no father on cert.
The only Charlotte i can find is born in Topcroft on the 1841 census then she seems to disappear.

Hi Pwassy,

Not sure this is much help but I suspect that she's called Charlotte Leggatt in 1851, visiting her sister and brother-in-law at Pulham St Mary the Virgin (HO107/1821 543 27)

(A quick FreeBMD search shows a marriage in 1847 Depwade between Charles Ebbage and Mary Ann Legood)

Hi Pwassy,
  Tati is right , I think her name is possibly Leggett or similar .
It looks like Charlotte is on the 1861 census with George N and another son Simon A.
Rg09/1233  27/15  Image looks like Leggatt but transcribed Leggell. Birthplaces fit.

Cathy :)

Hi pwassy.

Thought this may be of help

George nelson son of charlotte leegood of the parish of Bedingham single woman was baptised at the union workhouse
07.08.1853

The Leegood family of Bedingham, although not directly related, come into my family tree through a pheobe leegood marrying my gt grandfathers brother Thomas cook.

I have somewhere a web address of somebody who has done the leegood family tree if you are interested.

Regards Roger cook
