Hallo again Philip,
This is a rather complicated family history, as my grandfather shared the same name with his father, and also married his sisters sister-in-law, then his daughters sister-in-law!!
William Henry Leveridge, married Jane Elizabeth Pope.They had 2 children.
William Henry Leveridge, born c. 1873 Hull England, and Catherine Hannah Leveridge, born c. 1876.
It appears that the family - or at least the children immigrated to Australia whereWilliam married Charlotte Ann Morris in 1892, and Catherine married George Morris in 1899.William and Charlotte had a daughter Emily Rose Leveridge in 1893.William, Charlotte and Emily then moved to New Zealand, where they adopted a 2nd daughter Ruth Eileen Leveridge in 1903.Charlotte unfortunately died in 1906.Emily Leveridge then married George Auckram in 1911, and William married Thirza Auckram in 1912, in Wellington, New Zealand.Thirza and William had 9 children - one of whom was my father.There is plenty more, but I will not bore you until some further links can be established.
Cheers
Sandie
