Post by: gransworld on Sunday 04 December 11 22:33 GMT (UK)

I  have  Harold Leach born in Edenfield in march 1909 immigrated  to Canada in 1921 to  a brother Albert ,his nearest relative in England  was Brother Thomas  at(looks like) Lum or Yum cottages in Edenfield .I know  from Harold's marriage  that  his father  was Thomas Leach  and  mother  Annie Collier  but I can not find  anything  about them ,looked for a marriage  for  the parents but no luck.Any ideas where I could look  next ?

I had  found  this family  on  the 1901  census and wondered the same about George A being  Albert .Thanks  for  the  Marriage  I could  not  find  one  and  Hannah is possible. The  parents were deceased by 1921 when Harold came  to  Canada.

Hi,

On the original marriage register image her name was written Annie Collier and then Annie has been crossed out and Hannah written above.  I also think someone wrote the fathers surname incorrectly using the street address Salter instead of Collier  ::)  See:
