If you find any typing errors or a link doesn't work PLEASE let me know so I can correct it.

IF YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME please leave a message via  CONTACT ME , and I will contact you in return.

Please Note: With the coming of the 20th Century, and an increase in available documenation as well as the rise in population, it would be both impractical and unnessary to list by name all persons known to be associated with certain properties within Leverstock Green as I've done for previous centuries.
Searches can be undertaken on each page by clicking on Edit, then Find in your Browser.

N.B.  More years and specific artcles will be published in due course, but more research is required, particulalry amongst local newspaper archives.  In addition it is possible I hold information which I cannot publish on the web due to copyright.  It is therefore, always worth contacting me   with any requests for information.  These I will endevour to answer as soon as possible.
