Thank you Ray and BallyaltikilliganG for all of your time and effort in trying to build my Leech/Leach/Leitch family tree. I am sorry I have not replied before now as I have been very busy at work.
I appreciate your list of potential Leech relatives and when I have the opportunity, I will check their names against my records. While the Christian names would seem to strongly indicate they are likely to be relatives, I am still unable to make any definite connections.
Since my original post, I have traced Mary Ann McIvor's family to Drumsurn, Drumgavenny, although I am still searching for any evidence of her baptism. Likewise, I have no marriage record for Mary Ann and William Leech.
As for William and Mary Ann Leech's children, I managed to contact a descendant of their daughter Catherine McVeigh, but he was unable to provide any information about the Leech family in Ireland that I did not already know.
