Hi Dorset1

I can find no link to Charles Leighton 1854 & Sarah Meek 1855. However, I do have a Charles Leighton 1858 married on 27 Aug 1882, Drybrook to Charlotte Meek 1861 Witnesses Charles & Sarah Leighton, and by coincidence, Charlotte Meek 1861 who was the daughter of Thomas Meek 1819 & Elizabeth Boughton 1819 had a sister Sarah born 1853. The father of Charles Leighton 1858 was Charles Leighton.
