Re: Moore Family/ Eleanor Leece
In Response To: Re: Moore Family ()

I've been looking at possible parents of Eleanor Anne Leece, and this is the most likely:

****************************

ELENOR ANNE LEECE Pedigree
Female

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Event(s):
Birth:
Christening: 31 OCT 1858 Patrick, Isle Of Man, England

Death:
Burial:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parents:
Father: WILLIAM LEECE Family
Mother: CHARLOTTE

************************************
There's also this one, parents William Leece and Ann, but birth year of 1862 doesn't match well with Ellen's age of 30 in 1891, and 42 in 1901.

ELLANOR LEECE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 02 FEB 1862 Patrick, Isle Of Man, England

Looking in the censuses:

LEECE Eleanor A 12 Pat 5771 19 62

1871
Patrick district 2, page 12
Glenmaye
Wm Leece head age 43 Lead miner
Charlotte wife age 44
William H son age 17 lead miner
John J son age 10 scholar
George E son age 8
Richard S son age 2
Eleanor A dau age 12
Charlotte M dau age 6
all born Patrick

**********************************************

Then checking in the IGI for the children of William Leece and Charlotte, these are all extracted entries which match well with the 1871 census:

This must be the same family, but mysteriously there's no sign of Eleanor Anne who ought to be age 2, and there's no 2 year old Eleanor Leece in Brian Lawson's index, so her name may have been omitted in error.
