Title: Leach family tree
Post by: hayleyr28 on Monday 31 January 11 19:49 GMT (UK)
Hi just wondering if anybody can help me with my family tree i've hit a brick wall, my Grandmother used to talk about an Archie Leach who was her Cousin. Was talking to family members and they say that Archie Leach was infact Cary Grant but I cannot place him in my family tree although the stories that they were told about him when they were children do infact add up.
So if anyone could help me with my research I would be very grateful. Many thanks in advance Hayley  :)

Cary Grants real name was Archibald Leach.

However, to see if he fits into your tree some more details are needed such as your grandmothers name, birthdate, place of birth etc.

Noting that Arthur was born in Wincobank in Sheffield according to the 1911 census, this is likely to be him in 1901:

1901 census
piece 4397 folio 104 page 14
51 Meadow Hall Rd
(Kimberworth [Rotherham])

George LEACH Head Marr 45 iron turner YKS Shire Green
Jane LEACH Wife Marr 45 Sheffield
Herbert D 26 slinger in machine shop / Gen(?) Rotherham
William O 23general labourer (tube works) Rotherham
Sarah G 19 Wincobank
Charles C 17 iron turner (apprentice) Rotherham
Arthur P 15 tube finisher (apprentice) Wincobank
Dorothy J 14 Sheffield
George G 11 Sheffield
Ethel M 6 Kimberworth

Ancestry incorrectly indexes him as 'Arthur V'.

I think I may be super distantly related to you! My Grandmother was born Betty Leach, of Bristol, daughter of Edwin and cousin of Archie and I know I have heard about a Mabel Leach... have just messaged my dad to ask more!
