This is my family tree: Richard Lewis married Margaret Emily Legge born abt 1898 in Bethnal Green. Her parents were: Robert Walter Legge born abt 1872 he married Margaret Emily Wall. Robert's parents were: Robert Legge born abt 1842, he married Sophia Ellen Hooper. Then it goes back to Robert Legge born about 1816 in Shoreditch who married Mary Ann Nightingall. Parents of Robert Legge born abt 1816 in Shoreditch... ?
