His first marriage is known only from Burke, his wife being (I think) German.  BP says the marriage was on 5 Oct 1952 to Kari dau of Senats President Walther Brebeck of Entin, Holstein.

Their three children were born abroad, from his travels listed in Burke.  So no records of birth in UK.  BP says they were:

1. Robert Augustus b. 29 May 1953, d. 1973,
2. Christopher Walter, b. 24 July 1955
3. Barbara Ingrid, b. 13 Jun 1960

His second marriage was in England and has been entered onto this database, they had no children.

Subsequent Note:

Clear evidence has been found for this family in the will of Beatrice Mary Caroline Goudge, née Adderley.  She explicitly mentioned

(a) Her nephew Christopher Legge
(b) These children of Christopher:
    1. Christopher Legge (Junior)  (though this was deleted)
    2. Barbara Legge
    3, Robert Legge

So they will be added to this family file.

In the will of his aunt Beatrice Mary Caroline Goudge he was listed as ‘my said nephew Christopher Legge’.

His will was dated 13 August 1999 and appointed his nephew Christopher Julian Arden Lewis to be his executor.

In his will his listed additionally only:

1. Barbara Ingid Begley of County Kerry, Ireland

(I had wondered why his son Robert had died in Co, Kerry and it could have been because he was living near, or with, his sister.)

From his will, he was living at 3 Castle House, 40 Wilcox Close, London and left a net £62,000.
