Hello all I am researching the LEECH name in both England and Canada . my g.father William LEECH came to canada in 1884/5 from cheshire and was one of the early pioneers of the high bluff / woodnorth areas . in 1888 he married a susan WARDLE and went on to have 13 children (one of which was my father William (Irvin or Irwin ) LEECH. On the 1881 census from England he is listed as one of 4 children (Thomas/ 23 yrs /Mary/17 yrs Frederic/12yrs---and of course my g.father /15 yrs. The mother (Esther/WRIGHT/LEECH 57yrs was listed as head of family (my gg.father being deceased by that time . Any help would be very much appreciated . thanks in advance Judith in Winnipeg
