Hi I am looking for any information on my 3x gt grandmother Susan Leggat, born 1838 in Kings Lynn, she married William Hill b 1840 in Barnes Surrey. They had Louisa 1872, William 1868, Willy, John, and Isabella my 2x gr grandmother. These dates might not be completely accurate. We think Susan may have ended up in London running or owning some sort of coffee house, but that is just family talk, so any help would be really helpful. Thanks

Is this the right Susan?

Thank you all so much this has given me a whole lot more to think about and new lines to trace. From the little I knew this new information all seems to fit in and no wonder my father hit a dead end looking for Leggat instead of Eggat. Many thanks.
