Huntingdonshire Lookup Requests / Re: Huntingdon marriage index
« on: Friday 05 September 08 08:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi David,

The one that I am most interested in is between Thomas Leeding and Anne Southwell.  This is where I hit a dead end.  All I know is that they both died in Yaxley in 1770.

I am going to roll this into two replies a it may help as someone else wrote a post regarding possible connections to my Leedings. 

Thomas and Anne had 9 children.

Catherine Leeding b.1742-?
Thomas Leeding b.1744-? (m.Ann Harrison b.May18,1774 Spaldwick)
Sarah Leeding b1746-1749
Elizabeth Leeding 1749-1749
William Leeding b.1751-?
John Leeding b.1753-?
Mary Leeding b.1756-1757
Samuel Leeding b.1758-? (m.Sarah Clay)

I can trace only two of them.  I can trace Samuel Leeding all the way to today.  All of his kids took the Leeden name.  Thomas and Ann Harrison had one son that I know of John Leeding b.1778.  I do not know anything about the rest of them.  Any information you have would be great.

Thanks again for all of your efforts.

Kind regards,

Austen

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Thomas Leeding and Leeden's: Old Hurst, Yaxley, Somersham, Bluntisham...
« on: Tuesday 26 August 08 09:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi I am looking for any information on Leeden's and Leeding's in the Cambridgeshire area.  I have been able to trace the Leeden's back to Thomas Leeding.  I know that he died in Yaxley 9/5/1770 and was married to Anne Southwell.  I do not know if he had any brothers or sisters.  I do not that they had 8 children all with the last name Leeding.

Cathrine bn.29/10/1742
Thomas bn.16/12/1744 m.Ann Harrison (m. in Spaldwick)
Sarah bn.12/10/1746
Elizabeth bn.13/8/1749
William 16/6/1751 (Spaldwick)
John 1/5/1753
Mary b.1756 d.5/7/1757
Samuel b.25/6/1758 m.Sarah Clay (m. in Holywell)

I know that Thomas had a son, John Leeding b.1778.  Then Samuel had 7 children all with the surname Leeden.  I am most interested in Cathrine Leeding, William Leeding, John Leeding and Mary Leeding.

I am also looking for information on some of Samuel Leeding's children.

Phoebe Leeden b.15/3/1797 Bluntisham
Robert Leeden b.6/2/1800 Bluntisham

There are other Leeden's and Leeding's I am interested in finding out about but these are the most pressing.

I would love to hear back from anyone that may have any information.  I have a lot of information already and have most of our tree pieced together up until Thomas Leeding, then the trail goes cold.

thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Huntingdonshire / Re: Bright's and Bentley's Of Huntingdonshire.
« on: Monday 25 August 08 20:39 BST (UK)  »
I just thought I would throw my two cents into the ring and see what happens.  I am a Leeden that traces back to the Leeding's.  We connect to the Bentley's thus. 

Thomas Leeding m.Ann Southwell in 19/19/1742 Yaxley. They had 8 children. 

Their youngest,Samuel Leeding m.Sarah Clay 19/7/1784 Holywell.  They had 7 children who's last names changed to Leeden.

The youngest was also named Samuel Leeden who m.Sarah Bass 18/12/1810 Oldhurst.  This is where the connection comes in.  Their children were in order:

Elizabeth     14/11/1813 Oldhurst
Mary Ann    18/1/1816 Oldhurst
Phoebe       29/6/1819 Oldhurst
Sally           29/7/1821 Warboys
Charlotte    4/5/1913 Oldhurst
William       5/9/1829 Warboys

Charlotte Leeden m.George Bentley (bn.6/4/1825)

Charlotte and George had 5 children:
Mary Elizabeth Bentley m.William Bright
George Bentley m.Mary Bird
Benjamin Leeden Bentley m.Elizabeth Jane Burton
Rebecca Bentley m.Joseph Caddy
Julia Bentley m.John Caddy

The only child that our tree continues on it that of Benjamin.  Benjamin had three kids:
George Edward Bentley m.Agnes Kate Weeks
Gabriel Bentley
Benjamin Bentley

This is where it gets interesting.  For some reason George and Agnes's kids took the Leeden last name.

I will have to read back over past posts to see where everything fits in but it looks like we may have some interesting cross over here.
