Unplaced Leonards in England Brad Leonard, bradsport.com
Genealogy is sometimes like a puzzle with lots of pieces, the challenge being to discover
which fit together. It is easier to find the fits when you have all of the pieces out on the
table. This is an attempt to get more of the Leonard pieces out in the open to see if we can
find fits.
These are some Leonards I’ve found in English vital records. They appear to be from a
number of different Leonard lines. Leonard was a fairly common first name in the 1500’s
and 1600’s, and there were a number of church parishes called St. Leonard’s, so word
searches of records are difficult. In some cases all variations on Leonard (Lennard, Lenard,
Lenarde, Linard, Lyonarde, Lyniard, etc.) were changed to Leonard; in other cases not. I
took the name as spelled in the record. Spelling depended on the phonics of the particular
clerk; many of the people were illiterate and unaware of how their names were spelled; and
there wasn’t much effort to standardize spelling until the late 1700’s. Some were latinized
versions of English names, since many old church records are in Latin.
The following come from indexes to English Parish Records on CD by Ancestry.com:
London, England General, Hampshire-Kent-Surrey-Sussex, Cornwall-Devon-Dorset-
Somerset, and Staffordshire-Warwickshire-Derbyshire, as well as familysearch’s
International Genealogical Index. None of these are a complete listing for the county –
there are lots of gaps. Since most of these are from indexes, there may be more detailed
records available at sources.
Please keep in mind that some given names were quite common. There were lots of
Thomases and James. Also, while some families remained in the same area for
generations, other families moved around a lot. The iron Leonards in particular were
itinerants.

Other Leonard Lines to follow up on:
“A prominent gentleman, the acknowledged head of the family of Leonard, living in
Buckingham Villas, Clifton—the beautiful environ of Bristol—and his family, took much
interest in the matter. He bore the Christian name of Solomon as did his father and
grandfather before him. I was assured that not only this name, but also John, Jacob, and
Isaac, had been common in the family there for many generations: that they were
dissenters and some of the family went to Leyden, and it was believed from there to
America. In a correspondence with members of the family, continued for several years,
this belief was confirmed.”
This is a quote from Manning Leonard, “Memorial: Genealogical, Historical, and
Biographical of Solomon Leonard, 1637,” page 19.
I think this line of Leonards is that of Robert B. Leonard, the genealogy of Bristol
Leonards, to be posted later.

Pontypool Area Leonards
In South Wales, James Leonard, whose three children, William, Thomas, and Anne were
baptized at Trevethin between 1696 and 1703, was perhaps the first member of the
ironworking line to reappear there. In the 1700’s a Leonard and his two sons were working
at the Melingriffith tin-plate works near Pentyrch in Glamorgan… John Leonard whose
son Simon was baptized at Bedwelltry in March 1824 had himself become a roler in the
Tredegar iron works…
From manuscript, probably from Brian K. Auty.
Midlands Area Leonards
Levy Leonard, baptized at Dudleston in (May 28,) 1704, had four children baptized at
Shifnal between 1729 an 1744 (Emanuel, July 6, 1729; Eleanor, February 22, 1744; and
two others), whilst his brother Richard, baptized at Dudleston in 1712, was perhaps the
Richard who had children baptized at Bilston from 1743 to 1746…
(John and Jane Leonard had a daughter, Elizabeth, baptized in Dudleston September 11,
1727; a son, John, baptized there October 10, 1725.)
Early in the 19th
Century there was correspondence between James Leonard, a workman in
the ironworks at Bilston, and the Leonard family of Taunton, MA, concerning ironworks at
Bilston in which the family formerly had a proprietorial interest. The works, formerly
unprofitable and heavily mortgaged, had since greatly expanded, but the prospect of the
lengthy lawsuit needed to recover it discouraged any attempt to regain possession.
(Mentioned in Elisha Clark Leonard’s notes.)
At Kinver, James Leonard senior’s children Samuel, Ruth, and William, were buried in
1710, 1711, and 1715 respectively. A second Ruth was baptized only three weeks after the
first Ruth’s burial was presumably a child of the same man. James Leonard junior was
certainly the father of John, baptized at Kinver in 1717, and presumbably of Thomas,
William, Mary, James, Samuel, Elizabeth, Sampson, and Sarah, who were baptized
between 1720 and 1738, all of them children of James and Elizabeth Leonard; of these
children Thomas, Mary, Samuel, and Sampson failed to survive. The failure of further
children to appear suggests that the James Leonard who was buried in February 1738 was
the younger of the two Jameses and father of all these children, of whom Sarah, the last,
was baptized in March 1738.
The Thomas Leonard who married Mary Ward at Cheswardine in 1727 had one child,
Thomas, baptized at Cheswardine before moving on to Mucklestone, where he worked at
Norton Forge and had four more children baptized between 1730 and 1741. Although the
Norton Parish Register does not confirm this, it seems probable that Ralph Leonard, whose
children Elizabeth, Samuel, Mary, Ralph, and another Samuel were baptized there from
1735 to 1754, also worked at the same forge. Ralph, who had married Maria Hussey at
Adderley early in 1735, was a son of Leonard Leonard, whose children Mary, Ralph, and
41
Hannah were baptized from 1706 to 1712 at Cheadle, the parish where entries concerning
workers from Oakamoor Forge were recorded…
Back in the area north of Stourbridge, where the Wombourne Parish register included the
names of workers at Heath Forge on the Smestowe Brook, Samuel and John, the sons of
John and Barbara Leonard, were baptized in 1657 and 1662, whilst Anne and Elizabeth
Leonard, baptized at Kinver in 1667 and 1675, could be daughters of the same John
Leonard or another, because by 1675 the mother’s name was Bridget. John and Bridget
Leonard moved downstream to Hartlebury on the Stour shortly after 1675…
John and Bridget Leonard, who left Kinver, established themselves at Hartlebury before
1685, between when and John’s death in 1690, three daughters, Mary, Bridget who did not
survive, and a second Bridget were born to them. In 1694, William and Sarah’s son
William was baptized at Hartlebury…
It is with the family of a second William Leonard, who married Sarah Hall at Hartlebury in
1763, that involvement with iron can again be clearly demonstrated. Their first child,
James Leonard (1764-1804) was baptized at Hartlebury, but their later children, Sarah,
William, Anne, and John, were all baptized at Lower Mitton or Stourport from 1765 to
1770...
The tenacity of the Leonard family’s continuance in the fining of iron is illustrated in 1838,
when Thomas Leonard, finer, married Ellen Jones at Lower Mitton; John Leonard, the
finer, who witnessed the marriage, was presumably his father. Thomas, 25 (b. 1816)and
Ellen Jones, 20, are listed in the 1841 Census for Lower Mitton. In the 1851 Census they
were living with Ellen's brother and his wife in Lower Mitton. Benjamin was an iron
moulder and was born in Denbighshire, Wales, as was Ellen. In the 1861 Census, Thomas
and Ellen were visiting Ellen's brother Isaac in Lower Mitton, Kidderminster. Thomas is
listed as a forgeman and finer, having been born in Wolverly, Worcestershire. The father
was the son of William and Sarah Leonard, who had been baptized at Little Mitton in 1770.
John certainly remained at Little Mitton up to 1808, when his daughter, Harriet, was
baptized…

(For those not familiar with the local geography, the towns mentioned are generally west of
Birmingham a few miles. Cheswardine and Mucklestone are northwest of Birmingham
perhaps 30 to 40 miles in Shropshire. Wombourne, Kinver, Stourbridge, Kidderminster,
and Stourport on Severn are directly west of Birmingham perhaps 20 miles along the Stour
River in Staffordshire. Bilston is about 8 miles northeast of Wombourne, closer to
Birmingham. Cleobury Mortimer is another 10 miles west of Kidderminster.)
