| BE1883 & BEB1841, which provide the same information about this family, identify this as a "very ancient family in those parts", referring to Derbyshire. TCP reports that a "very elaborate pedigree of Leeke was entered (4 D. xiv, pp. 89-103) in 1717 at the Coll. of Arms". We hope to obtain additional information on the earlier generations of this family in due course and extend this page. | |||||||||||||||
