I have a bit of information on this family and would love to swap information with you. Amy Leadbitter , his daughter, went to Australia. Henry born 1811, had a sister named Elizabeth born about 1823. She also went to Australia.
I know that Henry had died prior to 1864 as he was dead when Amy married her husband Andrew Houliston in Sydney. A newpaper clipping describes the Late Henry Leadbitter of London.
Maria was Maria Thurston Wheeler born 21 June 1812 at St marlebone Rd, London. Her parents were John Wheeler and Harriett Miller. John was born 1779. They were married 1806. Chittern All Saints Wiltshire. (as far as I know from snippets that I have found over the years)

Just out of curiosity what part of the family are you related to?
Henry was born 1812, died 1857....I am still debating on some parts of the family, just waiting on ancestry to place more london records online for me, that may be able to verify some details on the family, as their name is one that can be spelt many ways.

I am a descendant of Elizabeth Leadbitter who had a son in Australia  named James Adelong Leadbitter. He married a widow Sarah Jane Lee and they had a son George Frederick Leadbitter in 1888.

Spelling is a problem.

Elizabeth came to Australia aboard "Steebonheath" in 1858. Travelling with her Nephew William Leadbitter and her Niece Alice Leadbitter.
Elizabeth was 33,  a housekeeper  with her native place as Greenwich, Kent.  Her mother was living at Plumbstead Kent in 1857.
Elizabeths Death certificate names Thomas Leadbitter, a bank clerk , as her father and Nancy Yeates as her mother... Details were given by her Son, James Adelong Leadbitter.

Do you know if there was a person with the surname  Dennett, as Elizabeth  Leadbitter was suppose to have had a sister named Mrs Dennett living at Goulburn when she came to Australia in 1858.
As yet we cant find the Mrs Dennett...

Ok, I have a Sarah Leadbitter listed as her sister but I didnt have any other information on her. So the Sarah Dennett at Orange is definately a possibility. I have looked up her Death on the NSW BDM and it has her fathers name as William.  All my records for  Elizabeth has her fathers name as Thomas Leadbitter. Both Elizabeth and Sarah both have the mothers name as Nancy so I am a bit confused by the two fathers names being different.
Hoping you may have so explanation.

I have certificates that often contain inaccurate information, as the informant may not have known the details of the father. Maybe his name was thomas william, as Henry was Henry William leadbitter.
