What's his relationship to the Evans?  What is his relationship to you?

yes thank you. i dont know what relationship he is to me i only have him on this one census return. there were no mc leishes in the evans family so i wonder if he could be the  child of one of the sisters and being un married used his fathers nam they were my great aunts my grandmothers sisters. i know three of them moved to scotland to live.

The 1901 has a Lucy McLeish born 1884 B'ham working as a servant in Handsworth.  Could he possibly be related to her?

She married in 1910

Here's the 1891 ref for the McLeish family.  Note the 2 youngest children were b Handsworth although the family were in Birmingham - Piece 2399 folio 118

Looks like mum Elizabeth died 1893 aged 43
