PAFFETT, KNAPP and LEEF in Portsea/Portsmouth

PAFFETT, KNAPP and LEEF in Portsea/Portsmouth

Surnames: PAFFETT KNAPP and LEEF
I am helping someone trace their LEEF ancestry and am hoping to connect with a living relative who might be able to help them with a couple of stories that relate to their LEEF family tree.

Martha LEEF married William Henry KNAPP in 1854, they had several children, Elizabeth, Harry, Walter, Clara, Willie, James and Flora.

Elizabeth married Henry PAFFETT and they had Georgina, Harriet, Clara L, Flora and William H.

Harriet married Henry William HATFIELD, I believe Georgina married George H ISAAC, William Henry married Dorothy L BURDEN and Flora married Edward J EBSWORTH.

In 1881 Elizabeth is at home at what looks like 2 Baron Street Portsea with her two eldest children, Georgina and Harriet. In 1891 she is at Tipnor Street with 5 children, the two girls from 1881 plus Clara, Flora and William H.

In 1891 there is a Henry PAFFETT lodging in Co Durham, occupation Electrical wireman so very possibly having to travel for work.

Is anyone connected to this PAFFETT line? My friend is in New Zealand and would be grateful for any information on William Henry LEEF, father of Martha LEEF
