Thank you very much for the quick reply.Now I think that maybe that the whole family moved there.Any information on their parents and siblings will be most grateful,they are as follows;parents,William b.1876 in Arklow,Ireland,ironmonger,Beatrice Edith b.1882 in Galway,ireland.Siblings,William Edward b.1902,Evlyn Florence b.1903,Beatrice Edith b.1904 and John b.1909.All children born in Limerick except William who was born in Dublin,I know it is a big ask,thank you in advance,tom

Hello my name is Mary, Jasper is my father. I'm intrigued to see you are searching information on my fathers history. My brother Mike Came across this site while doing his own search on our parents history. Are you still searching for information and it would be great to know what your links are to our family.

Hi
I have been researching the history of my new house in Enderby Leicestershire. I found that Jasper & Irene Leech lived in my house in 1957 but the house was empty in 1958.
I found Irene’s headstone in Enderby cemetery yesterday. She was from Chesterfield. She died in Dec 1985.. Jasper died in Leicester in 2000
Hope this helps

Hi Mary,
I’m so pleased you contacted me. I’m at 28 Rawson Street. I would love to hear more about your parents. According to the electro roll, Jasper & Irene stayed in this house with Charles Washington until he died in 1957
I wondered how Irene decided to come to leicester from Chesterfield. I do hope Irene had a happy life.
