Lewis is Shirley's Gt Gt Grandfather - he married Marian Harriet Harvey 2Sep1846 St Hellier.
Their daughter Matilda b 1851 married Henry Moss 1875 in London.
Their son Isaac aka John and Jack was born Glasgow? 1876 and married Annie Bedford in Perth Western Australia in 1913.
Their son John George Moss was Shirley's father.
We only started looking at her ancestors in the last month - having a grand time with the research

Hear from you again
What is your name??

Regards
Vicki & Shirley

My name is Joe Staines. Sigmund is my great-great-grandfather. He was married to Ellen West. Their daughter Florence was the 2nd wife of George Spawton Catlow and the mother of three girls, including my grandmother Elise Catlow. Elise's first husband was Harry Letts and they had 3 children including my mother Pauline Letts. I am her youngest son by her husband Geoffrey Staines. My brother Andrew thinks he might have more material about the Leopolds, I will let you know if anything turns up.

Best wishes.

Nice to meet you Joe Staines. Have found death of Florence in 1944 aged 76 at Blaby in Leicester. Also in the 1901 and 1911 Census.
Do you know details of Florence's marriage to George Spawton Catlow?

Appreciate any Leopold info you may have.
Where do you and your brother live?

Vicki and Shirley

Had lunch with Shirley yesterday. She says 'thank you' for the Florence info.

I finally spoke to my brother Andrew about the Leibman Leopold connection, and he supplied me with quite a lot more information. Unbeknown to me, he and my mother linked up around 1990 with a Canadian cousin of hers, John Knox (they had holidayed together as children on St Helier in the 1920s), who is another Sigmund Leopold descendant, through Sigmund and Ellen's 3rd child Theresa (Florence's sister). John Knox's wife had done rather a lot of research – almost too much to supply via RootsChat. It might be easier to post you (or Shirley) the information. Incidentally, I know of descendants in New Zealand. Florence had 3 daughters, my grandmother Elise and her sisters Norah and Avice. Avice married Geoff Parkes and their son Michael emigrated to NZ where he was (I think) a dairy farmer. Michael married Dorothy and had four children – Anne, Helen, Geoffrey and Fiona.

Best wishes…

your email address has been redacted by RootsChat. Not to worry, when I have a bit more time I will start posting some of the information that I have gleaned.

Best wishes,

Joe
