I just discovered that Leopold Walford married into the portugese royalty. He married Marie Christine DE BOURBON(2) was born on 27 Jul 1889.(23) Parents: Franz DE BOURBON and Maria DEL PILAR DE MUGUIRO Y BERUETE. Trouble is I can't find any birth details of Leopold to see if he is related !!:{ BUT.....one of my ancestors born in 1893 was named Tassie Leopoldine !!!??? Coincidence or not.......hmmmmmmm |

Leopold seems to have owned a shipping company. Entente Steamship Co. (Leopold Walford Ltd.), London (1914-22. well I though this was good until I googled the name & it brought up a whole list of law suites against him !! I hope they aren't looking for ancestors to repay any bills !!! |

well it is exciting when you are used to labourers & domestic servants !! He seems to have won a famous law suit. It is quoted by heaps of othe cases. Wish I understood what the legal jumbo mumbo means. |
