We are related to Levi.
Our story is that Levi was pardoned -possibly because he turned Queens evidence. he married Ada Gasely they had a daughter Letty sons Walter and Ben at least.
After the pardon the emigrated to South America after 1871 (possibly Rio de Janerio) when he mother died Letty came back to the UK as ladies maid after a few years (before 1878) she and married Chalrles Burgess 16/11/1878 they are my great grandparents. Letty was writing to her brother in South America up to the 1930s or 40s and in my grandparents house was the trunk she had with her on the boat.
Ben changed his name to Gasely.
Thats all I can remember at the moment my sister probably has more details.
