Thank you for your advice. I have the family tree on Family Tree Maker but a small box of handwritten notes, not all of them entered in Tree Maker. I am computer illiterate. My eldest son who was the driving force is on holiday in France.
We Have a direct line from James Leonard to the present with some collateralls. We ran out of puff when we could find no forebears for James Leonard, found that the ironworks had been demolished as has the Methodist Church which the Leonards built in Coatbridge. Only the church hall remains - now the bowling club. The site of the church held a bungalow occupied by a Miss Leonard who chose not to reply to any letters. The site of Leonards Land in Coatbridge no longer exists. We made no real attempt to follow up the Ellis line.
Information about the iron works can be found in Glasgow University's Scottish Industrial History volume 5 if you can access it.
Regards
Tom 188
