George Leech,born in Arklow,Co.Wicklow,Ireland in 1888.He was the son of John Leech.In 1901 census he was living in Limerick,Ireland.He became a seaman.We can't find him in 1911 census.I am thinking that he might be on a boat in Bristol or some English port.Is it possible for someone to check if he was in Bristol port in the 1911 English census,thank you in advance,tom

Sorry, we are not allowed to do 1911 lookups.  Have you tried looking on Ancestry, they have free access this weekend.

Is this him in 1901?: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPBY-6PG6

What makes you think he was in an English port?

In theory as a seaman he could have been anywhere in 1911  :-\

Have you any naval records for him?  That should show what ships he served on and when.

Do you have him anywhere after 1911 to be sure he was still alive?
