I have these dolls 44 in total, Leonardo and Knightsbridge. Any idea of their value?

Dolls have to be individually researched to find a value as each doll is different in many ways even if the brand name is the same.
You will need to do online research for each doll individually to see if you can locate an identical doll as only a sold price will provide 'current value' as a sold price displays what someone was willing to pay for that item.
Several things will determine the value of each doll:
Brand
Size - measurements
Style (Victorian - American Indian - Bride - etc)
Condition - new or used/preowned
Also: new in box - new/no box - COA/tags
No one can just give a ballpark value for your dolls but it can be said that the majority of Knightsbridge and Leonardo dolls that sell usually sell for less then $25-$35.
You may have larger dolls that may sell for a little more but shipping will be very expensive so be sure you check out shipping costs before listing dolls for sale.
You can search for your dolls online - eBay is a good first stop. You can narrow your search by checking some of the boxes on the left of the screen - size etc.
Here is a link to eBay on both brands:
Second link is for dolls that have sold over the past several months:
www.ebay.com/
www.ebay.com/
www.ebay.com/
You can check for your dolls on Google to find other listings for sale.
Please keep in mind that dolls in general are very low priority on anybody's list and the market has been flooded for years. This just means that dolls are very slow sellers and many dolls are listed for sale for months/years and may never sell - even at very low prices.
You may be better off to try and find a consignment store that will display your dolls for sale. You will have to pay a percentage to the store but you would not have to do any shipping which could be the best part.
Cybergrannie is 100% spot on in her response. The only thing I can add is individual research is critical as there are a few ringers out there that may hold more value than the others, but time is money and it can take weeks to do this research because many sellers are flippers and have clue how to name them to sell so you may have to go through thousands of dolls to find yours. What I mean by this is you may have to look down to a granular level of 15 inch doll or blonde doll to find a match to yours. It can be a nightmare!
With 41 dolls, unless you don't care about the hours your will spend, you should research them all or think of easier alternatives.
An easier alternative is just come up with an amount you want to get for the whole bunch of them and offer them as a boxed lot through a Facebook local sale and let someone else who has time and money to play around sell them by the piece OR add them to their collection and use the rest for trade (some doll owners love this kind of deal.
OR if you can find a consignment store that will take them (sadly some don't because the market is glutted) I would put them on consign for 90 days and see what sells and then donate the rest.
Or try to sell what's left as a boxed lot on Facebook.
Dolls are very hard to sell. I got out of selling them a few summers ago--just too many and too hard to ship.
Post back with what you decide!
Your dolls are in excellent condition. You did not write if there are boxes and in what condition they are.
The price of each doll ranges from $ 14 to $ 25 (maybe even $ 35) depending on the size of the doll.
For example, the doll Amelia (in the green dress) Knightsbridge collection was sold for 10-15 pounds (about $ 14-21) www.ebay.com/
These larger dolls are more expensive than the smaller ones. They fetch in the $35 range.
