Hi

If he was born in 1877 - is it likely he had siblings born in 1902/03/04

The 1911 index has an entry for a Beatrice Leech but she was only born in 1892.  There is also an entry for a 1yr old Charles leech - both entries in Guernsey.  Have you viewed that entry?  If not - you should do

1911 Index has Charles born c 1879 and Married

Beatrice 1892 is Guernsey is likely to be Charles Wife in my opinion.

Are you sure the 1917 entry doesnt say Wife and not Widow?

This is the Children you mention;

William Leech    35
Beatrice Edith Leech    29
Wm Edward Leech    9***
Evelyn Florence Leech    8***
Beatrice Edith Leech    7***
Joseph Stewart Leech    5
George Glenton Leech 4
John Leech 2
They are in Ireland

Marriage;
William Leech
Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes, 1845-1958   
Marriage:    October 1901 / December 1901    Limerick, Ireland

I looked for a Beatrice Edith marrying in Limerick at the same time and her Surname is MOORE

Both on Familysearch.Org

Are you descended from Charles Leech or one of the Children of William/Beatrice?

Thank you Carole W and Trish 1120,I have had a look at the 1911 census and you are right,it is his wife.I had not expected him to have married a Guernsey girl.I was searching the Irish Census for his wife.This was very helpful.thank you very much for your help,tom
