Dear Ivy,
It certainly sounds like the right family.
Family story had a connection with Leeds
only some of the stories have been wide of the mark as well so I had not put too much store in them.
I had tried a few years ago to pick them up on the sensus but got no matches.
Thank you very much.I live in west Australia so I'm a fair way from the places
I'm trying to research.
regards Elsie
