Leonard was a Wood Carver. He lived at 2, North View Terrace, Wiggington Rd, York, at the time of his Daughter Lillian's wedding.

Leonard was a Coachsmith.
William was a Butcher, and it appears that this was his first marriage. The same goes for
his wife also. He also received the Freedom of the City of York on the 9 Jun 1859. His father Leonard was deceased by then.
