[lizdb]

1901
4 Nesbit Place Hackney
Joseph Sealey 39 shoeing smith bn Hackney
Elizabeth 38 bn Lambeth
Joseph 11 bn HAckney
Elizabeth 6 bn Hackney

So, we've found Lucy and Joseph's mothers! Did you want us to continue tracing the families back through the censuses (if we can) or has that answered all you wanted?

Going back 10 years,from the 1901 I gave you in reply#4, here are the Leechs in 1891

1891
45 Meads Place, Hackney
James 49 bootmaker bn Norwich
Elizabeth 46 bn London
MAtilda 17 bn Bethnal Greeen
ELizabeth 16 bn Bethnal Green
John 14 bn Hackney
Ann 11 bn H
James 8 bn H
George 7 bn H
Emma 5 bn H
William 3 bn H
Albert 1 bn H

quite a large family!

And then back to 1881

Elgin Street, Hackney
JAmes 37 cordwainer bn Norwich
Elizabeth 30 bn Bethnal Green
Matilda 7 bn Beth.G
Elizabeth 6 bn BG
John G 4 bnHackney
William 2 bn H
Ann 1 bn H

so the Bethnal Green marriage that JAn found looks likely

[Jane101]

lizdb, wow !
A very big family ! 12 children ! Goodness 

[lizdb]

Struggling to find JAmes in 1871 but this is a possible for 1861 (you need to check if his dad was called John a bricklayer from James's marriage)

1861
Heigham Place, Heigham, Norwich
John Leech 43 bricklayers lab bn Heigham Norwich
Elizabeth 34 shoebinder bn St Martins Norwich
James 17 shoemaker bn St Stephens Norwich
John 14 bn Heigham
? (another son, I cant make out his name, maybe Wm, short for William) 11 bn St Stephens

[lizdb]

1851

Looks like ELizabeth in 1861 was a second marriage for John

1851
17 Sayers Building Heigham
John Leech 33 Ag lab bn Norwich St Miles?
Ann 31 bn Norwich St MArgaret
James 7 bn Norwich St Stephens
William 1 bn Heigham
Thomas Roll (or maybe Bell?) 63 father in law bn Heigham
MAry Roll (or maybe Bell) 24 unm sister in law bn St Bendicts
