William Kingdon		William Kingdon Legassick 1911 Census Living at Hill Side, Castle St. ,Launceston. Physician and Surgeon Unmarried, with a Housekeeper and Caochman living in. 1914-18 war William was a Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps (Ancestry ) His address is given as Plympton St. Maurice. I have as yet been unable to find out any further information regarding Dr. William Legassick
Arthur 1908-1930		Arthur Henry Legassick Appears to be travelling between England and Canada at least from 1908-1930. (see emigration Ancestry.co.uk) 1914-18 War he joined the army in Canada (CASC Imperial Army) His medal card (Ancestry.co.uk) gives his address as Plympton Devon I have as yet been unable to find out any further information regarding Arthur Henry Legassick
Herbert Maurice		There is no record of Herbert after the 1901 census. I cannot find him in the 1911 census, no record of the registration of his death and no record of emigration. (take care not to confuse him with Herbert Legassick son of Rosa born 1878 living in Dodbrooke who emigrated to Canada in 1927)
Clara Dorothea		I cannot find Clara in the 1911 Census. There is a record of death of Clara D. Legassick aged 34 registered Dec 1916 in Tavistock. I am sure that this is Clara.
Clara Maria Legassick nee Kingdon		Mother of the above. I cannot find Clara Maria in the 1911 Census. Her death is registered December 1935 aged 88yrs in Plympton. So it is possible that She was still living in ‘Legassick House’ up until that time.
		As yet I have been unable to find any references to wills or to the sale of Legassick House.
