I am researching the Legg(e) Family and have drawn a blank before 1831.
James Legge b 1831 in Alvington m Emma Oatridge 1857.
His father was John Legg b c 1794 in Uley but have been unable to clarify any more than this. He married a Hester,I am presuming Tilley as James middle name.
There was a Hester Tilley but can only find a marriage to a Smith Watson.
Any help would be apprecitated

James had 2 other brothers George and John.4 sisters that I know of,Jane,Mary,Caroline and Elizabeth.
