Hi Deidre 784. Delay in replying as I seem unable to get my head around using the Rootschat site.
I Can't find all your previous posts re the Leighs.
Any how will 'E Mail' you direct.

: Hello Deidre 724, just came across your posts on Roots chat almost by accident. I was tracing the Leighs about 2 or 3 years ago, but sort of gave up
I'm the guy with the Photos of Walter Roberts Leigh 2nd Warwick 24th Welsh reg of Foot. The title of the News article is Fighting Llanbradach Family. small village near Caerphilly South Wales.
My wife is Irene Leigh, her brother Walter Robert Leigh born 1937. Their father Walter Robert Leigh born 1907 in Pontypridd, died 1985 in Caerphilly. His father Walter Robert Leigh born 22/3/1877 in Brecon died 1925 in Pontypridd, family says he suffered from effects of Gas poisoning etc in WW1
This Walter married a Jennet Herbert born 1889 married 1905 died 1974.
His brothers and sisters are the Albert, Will Charles, John R ( Packman), Thomas Henry ( Harry)and Eliz B Mary, you have found.
This Walter also had his dad with the same name, Walter Robert born in Southwark, Kent 1845 Coachman / Groom died 1891 in Pontypridd. All these Walter Roberts must be a Welsh Thing ??
I was as far as Richard Leigh my wife's Great, Great, Grandad.
I have a copy of 1911 Census Walter Leigh, wife Jennet Lee, children Ivor, Robert, Nelly all Lees, Walter even signed the form Lee.
Going back to the Photo, it shows Private Walter Leigh, Private Walter R Leigh (father) Gunner William C Leigh of Sheffield, Private Ben Herbert,of Llanbradach brother in law, Royal Irish Fusiliers, Private Arthur G Leigh-Jones 10th Welsh Regiment (half brother), Private Fred G Burnell of Llanbradach 1st Rhondda Battalion Welsh Reg,(brother in law) and Private Harry Leigh , Pontypridd Welsh Reg.
How can I send you a copy and the other info I have ?? as I'm not used to this site
