At Topsham (called Topsum) near Exeter on 08 Sep 1826, HENRY LEIGH baptised 27 Dec 1802 in Crediton, married Ann BAKER 1805, daughter of Francis and Ann nee APLIN of St Sidwell. Not much is known about Henry and Ann's three girls and five boys.
The eldest son Francis Henry Elworthy, 02 Jan 1827 at St Sidwell is said to have corne to Australia with his Uncle George and family - more details are in a later chapter. Henry and Ann's eldest daughter Thirza Ann, 21 Oct 1828 at St Lawrence, Exeter married William John MORGAN on 26 Oct 1848 at All Hallows on the Wall; only a baptismal date of 10 June 1830 has been found for the third child, Henry George. It was probably about this time that Henry Senior took over the Country House Inn in Catherine Street, Exeter - quite near St Peter's Cathedral, as his fourth child Sarah 30 Jan 1832 was baptised there but died at the hotel premises some time prior to 1841. The next five children were all baptised at the Cathedral and dates were taken from the IGI but not much is known about them - Charles Leigh 19 Mar 1833 (died Oct 1834); Grace Leigh 05 Dec 1834 wed John Pinn MORGAN at Exminster on 29 ApI 1859; Reuben 14 Feb 1837 and Jessie 16 Feb 1839. Hubert was born 1840 and died at Catherine Street in 1844. The last two were born after Civil Registration began so details were taken from the 1841 Census. The Country House Inn came complete with a brewhouse and cellars, stables, back court, malthouse, etc. The owner of the premises was Amelia Baker, probably a relative of Henry's wife. In 1841 Thirza and Grace were at school in Tiverton. The following year their father Henry died on 3 Sep 1842 (not quite 40) and Ann carried on the business. In the 1851 Census she was still a widow and Reuben was the only family member living at home. Ann gave up her widowhood on 24 Feb 1862 when she married widower James CLARK, a surveyor of Walsall, Staffordshire. |

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources. g.bell@bigpond.net.au When you click the mail address abouve, if it does not open your email app, copy the address on the screen.
