Person:Edmund Leak (1)

There is probably some relationship between Mary Leak born 1789, Edmund Leak born 1792, and William Leak born 1803, but they are not siblings. In each case one parent is given and they are all different. Perhaps Sarah, John and Edward were siblings.

   Edmund Leak of Twisleton, buried 27 Jun 1858, age 66.

   Twisleton, probably a single house in the area of Holme and Holmbridge, is not noted in the description of the area covered by the 1851 census. However, the age at death matches with the baptismal notes.
