  • Name William LEEDS 
    Relationshipwith Teresa Ann GOATHAM
    Baptised 18 Aug 1754  St. John the Baptist Church, Mersham, Kent, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 21 Nov 2019)
      From PR data, transcribed by KFHS on CD 24
      Shows William son of Edmund and Elizabeth LEEDS
      I have no plans to continue the family further back and so have down little investigation into the LEEDS family. I can see on Ancestry trees those that show parents for William show a different couple. However, I can also see that this is based on assuming the William living in Woodchurch in 1841 was the son of this William. There was another William living in Brabourne who is a 'better fit' and who others also take to be the son of this William!
      Hence I think it most likely that the baptism in Mersham is that of this William.
    Gender Male 
    Buried 12 Apr 1806  St. John the Baptist Church, Mersham, Kent, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • Must have died before 1835, if the 1835 burial is his wife's, as her will shows she died a widow.
