Old Man Scanlon's Ancestors: LEGG/LEGGE

BEARCE, CHAPPELL, HAMMETT, LEGG (LEGGE), LUMBER, MAIN (MAINE, MAYNE), REASON, SCANLON, SELLAWAY

Notes

The 1881 Census index I used was the fiche version at my local FHC, not the one currently available online at FamilySearch.org. I have also made liberal use of various indexes to the 1851 census published by the Somerset & Dorset Family History Society.

LEGG Ancestors in Affpuddle Bishop's Transcripts

These are Affpuddle Bishop's Transcripts entries for ancestors and their immediate families. Ancestors are noted with an asterisk (*). The transcription is as accurate as I could make it, but one is never 100% sure. Some entries were illegible and are noted with a question mark (?). The Bishop's Transcripts are not complete; several years are missing, so this is not necessarily the whole picture.

LEGG Ancestors in the 1851 & 1881 Census Indexes

The Bosden Legges are the Affpuddle group that moved north to become highly-paid factory children: Elizabeth Maria, cotton weaver, whose age is not given, was 11 at the time. Louisa emigrated to Cumberland, R.I. not too much later, in 1889; by 1900 her siblings and parents had, too.

Other Possible Relatives & Ancestors in the 1851 Census Index

These are extracts from Indexes of the 1851 Census of Dorset, Corfe, Swanage & Wareham Area, Volume 7, 2nd Edition (©1998 Somerset & Dorset Family History Society). William G. Lumber appears to be the witness to the Herbert LEGG - Elizabeth MAINE marriage; it seems likely (but I haven't confirmed) that his wife Mary is Elizabeth MAIN's sister Mary.
