My earliest known Ledsham ancestor:
The earliest LEDSHAM ancestor, of which
I am certain, is a Thomas Ledsham who married Elizabeth CROSS in 1787
at Handbridge, Chester.
There is a baptismal record for a
Thomas Ledsham, son of
Thomas and Elizabeth, at St John's Chester on 30th March 1768, but I am
still uncertain if he is the same Thomas who married Elizabeth Cross.
Thomas had a brother William (mentioned
in the will of
Elizabeth Ledsham ne้ Cross "my brother-in-Law William, a
baker"), and his baptism is still sought.
