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.

Hi there,

I have a Reuben Shadwell, married to a Phoebe Leeden in my family tree. As far as I can tell Phoebe was born in 1797 Needingworth Huntingdonshire. Of course, that birth year could vary a little as we know dates of birth can change on the census forms.

Dont know if this is related to your search. Hope it helps.
