Also, marriage for daughter Elizabeth (parents Edward Leech and Sarah Weston) to James R Winship in Mosa in 1889.  Elizabeth is 21, so born about 1868.  Likely the 4 year old Elizabeth from the 1871 census.

Marriage of Edward Leach 54, b. England s/o Samuel and Deborah on 16 Jan 1866 Middlesex to Susan Seromisnan, 40 b. England d/o George  and Elizabeth West.

Baptism of Edward Leech 09 Aug 1813 s/o Samuel Leach and Deborah Capon in Suffolk.  Can find it on Family Search.  Samuel and Deborah married 22 Nov 1805 Parham Suffolk

Looks like that Susan was a widow when married.   Her parents were George and Elizabeth West... I wonder if this could really be Weston?  If so, you have found Edward and Susan's marriage and their parents' names.   :) :)

Very likely that Edward was also married before and had older children.  Especially if he was born in the early 1800s.   Worth having another look at that 1852 census that Cosmac found.

So, if older kids (Albert and above) on the 1871 census have a different mother, then I wonder if this is Amelia... there is a marriage for an Emily of similar age, father Edward and mother Mary A.  In Newbury Middlesex.   To James Randall in 1877

Susan Weston's first husband was likely Joseph Scrimshaw (transcribed as Seromisnan).  Here is death record for son George Scrimshaw.  Born 1854 in Caledonia (I assume they mean the town in Ontario).  Died in Kent, Ontario in 1930
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JJ74-SX7
Buried in Oakland Cemetery, Mosa. 

Also son Jeremiah Schrimshaw's death.  Born in Mosa in 1857 and died in Middlesex in 1929
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JKC6-Z4M
Buried in Mosa.

*****informant for Jeremiah is Mrs James Winship, half sister***.  This ties in with the marriage I found for James Winship and Elizabeth Leech (her parents being Edward Leech and Susan Weston).

ADDED - George Scrimshaw's wife is also a Winship.  Here is a photo of his cemetery stone

Here is Susan Scrimshaw (originally Weston and then later Leech) in Mosa in 1861.  She is widowed now.  Aged 35, and born in England. 
With her are children:
Sophia A 10
George 7
Hannah 5
Jeremiah 4

All children born in Ontario.  So, your ancestor Susan Weston Scrimshaw Leech came to Canada prior to 1851.

Aha - might have just found the tie in to the Edward Leech/Sarah Weston family and the Joseph Scrimshaw/Sarah Weston family AND the Edward Leech/Mary family of Saltfleet.

How is this...  1875
Marriage of SAMUEL LEITCH, age 23, born Saltfleet, living in Mosa, son of Edward and Mary Leitch to HANNAH SCRIMSHAW, age 18, born Mosa, living in Mosa, daughter of Joseph and Susan Scrimshaw.  Witness Edward Leitch of Mosa and Mary Jane Hagerty of Bothwell. 

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FMND-HBG

Looks very likely that Edward's son and Susan's daughter married each other. 

Samuel was born in Saltfleet about 1852

So, Samuel not with Edward and Mary in Saltfleet in 1852 :'(.  Might not be born yet... perhaps later in the year??  I still think he belongs though - and ties all of these records together.  He could be the 19 year old Samuel Leech on the 1871 census with Edward and Susan.

Here is the 1851/2 census that Cosmac found - for the Leech family in Saltfleet Wentworth.  This says (as Cosmac pointed out) that the family comes from Suffolk.

http://automatedgenealogy.com/census52/SplitView.jsp?id=24752

Edward is at line 37. The rest of the family follows.

I still think it would be a good idea to contact the local history society for Glencoe (link posted earlier).  There are lots of names here to help you in your quest.  I really think that Cosmac cracked in with the marriage of Edward Leech to Sarah West(on).  That gives parents' names for both Edward and Susan.
