Their office was then at 38 Hanover Street in Edinburgh. James W Smith left Leadbetter's office to set up his own practice at 13 South Frederick Street in the mid-1860s, but it proved short-lived.

Leadbetter died on 26 February 1888, aged 74. His relationship, if any, to Thomas Leadbetter is unknown, but the Directories show that in the mid-1880s the practices were quite separate, Charles being based at 7 St Andrew's Place and Thomas at 122 George Street. In his final years Charles is shown at his house in Mayfield Road only indicating that the practice was being wound down.
