Leeder - Goodwin. Mr Reginald Arthur Leeder the only son of FW Leeder of Yass married Cissie Goodwin only daughter of T Goodwin of Foxdown Tangmangaroo on 24.3.1902 at Essex House Tangmangaroo, home of her parents. Yass Courier 11.1.1902.

He was a dentist and a pharmasist, and, according to my mother's notes, also an alcoholic and a drug addict.

His eldest son Goodwin LEEDER also became a dentist

Reg had slightly slanty eyes and there is a rumour that he or his father might have been adopted, and that there might be Chinese blood in the family.

His dad, Frederick William has been hard to trace but was possibly born in Norfolk, if not adopted. I found the following possible death certificate for Frederick:

3718/1914 LEEDER FREDERICK 65 YRS HILLSTON HILLSTON

Was Goodwin his second name? i.e., Reginald Goodwin. And there appears to have been a William as well:

8799/1903 LEEDER REGINALD G REGINALD A MARIA S A YASS
18504/1904 LEEDER WILLIAM P REGINALD A MARIA S A YASS
