I think I will start a new post dedicated to James Thomas Leslie. Several posters are descended from him and I'm particularly interested in making contact with MasonLaRoche. I have been in contact with the author of the book about the Leslies in Launceston (Tasmania) and its environs who said that tracing back beyond 1812 is impossible,  She believes James Leslie was born at 5 Capel Street from the wholesaler and druggist reference you provided. Thanks a lot for your help. This has been a good introduction tho the site!

I'll add a reference to James Thomas Leslie c1812 in your Subject line

I discovered recently that I am a descendant of James Thomas Leslie born in Capel Street Dublin in 1812. I am living in Melbourne Australia and was born in Tasmania. I am interested in making contact with other descendants of James Leslie so if any of you read this post, please reply.

Beside possible entries in directories, are there any other clues on where in  Dublin your James was born, or what his mother's name was ?

e.g. from his marriage or death certs...

Treble Almanac from 1813 shows two Leslie entries : Johnathan Leslie a merchant on Fleet St., and P.A. Leslie a druggist on Bride St.

Both south Dublin city.

Thanks for your help. James Leslie married Margaret Gertrude McCarthy from Dominick Street Cork. She was born  on 10 July 1817 and travelled to Tasmania where she married James Leslie in Hobart Town in 1835. James Leslie left Liverpool on the 'Juno' in 1830. It seems he was a Remittance Man and sent away due to his political activities.
