William leaf or leef family in UK and New Zealand pre 1800
Kia ora
I have a lot of whakapapa(geneology) for my whanau in new Zealand but have drawn a big blank when it comes to the English side
My earliest NZ ancester is John leaf who married Rangahau aorund the early 1800's and from what i hear was disowned by his family for it.
The father was supposedly one William leaf from Streatham but I am not certain as noone out here is really sure. I think he was born in Yorkshire. there is a claim that he was titled but again i am not certain as people like to believe that and Id rather get to the truth.
Any help would be great I have alot of whakapapa from the NZ side but really want to get some from the UK
Cheers
