The LEAY / HOWARD / BURNETT / WILSON connection
The HOWARD branch is linked to my ALDRIDGE clan via Mary HOWARD, born in 1841, who became Mrs BURNETT, then Mrs WILSON after the death of her first husband James BURNETT.
She was the mother of Elizabeth BURNETT (who became Mrs ALDRIDGE) and is therefore the grandmother of my grandmother, Annie Leay PLIMMER (previously NUGENT, nee ALDRIDGE).
Mary's father was John Davies HOWARD and her mother was Johanna HOWARD (nee STANTON) who was born in France, a British Subject (as per 1851 census).
I do not know how to trace the birth of her mother, Johanna, so any advice most welcome.
HOWARD certificates I have so far include:
It is here we find the first reference to the LEAY name (not Leah) as in the middle name of my grandmother Annie Leay PLIMMER.
