Member Since: February 2007 Posts: 16 Send Message	Hi Barbara' I have/had an uncle Michael Legg. ( He married my father's younger sister) Michael Legg was born in Dorchester Dorset in the late 1920's or 1930's. He was a cabinet maker/ antique dealer as was his father also in Dorchester. I know no more except that they were an old Dorset family. Hope this may be useful Best Wishes Margaret
