Hello,
I have a document that you might be interested in with regards to Carry Grant.  I believe his mothers name is Kathleen M. Leach wife of Frederick Leach.  If this rings a bell write me back and I will further try to help you.  I never heard the names George.  But my dad was 14 when he and his mom went to California to visit him.  Looking for that picture.  It seems  Carry Grant is my great grandfathers daughters child.  I have his last Will and Testament.  Doesn't really mention Carry Grant--maybe wasn't born yet!?? Don't know.

Good luck.

Lucky you being related to Archibald Leach aka Cary Grant.  In my younger days I used to swoon over him  ::)   ::)   ::)   ::)

Hi Joanne,

Did you have any luck on this? My grandmother is somehow related. I haven't researched it much. My grandmother's name was Martha Leach and she had a twin sister Mary. I don't recall the exact story but I think they were cousins or something. They would have been about the same age. I believe she was also from the Fairfield area, or at least we used to go to reunions down there.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi, if you think that you might be able to help in my quest to find a connection between my Leach family and that of the actor Cary Grant, then please refer to my request for a census lookup over on the census lookups board as a starting point.  I am trying to find more info about Cary's father Elias his brothers and sisters and their ascendants.  The Story goes that my 2g-grandfather and Cary's father were brothers or cousins?!  I don't see the connection myself yet - but never say never!

Thanks
Joanne  ;D
