I used to live in Bristol and I can remember I used to pass a house with a blue plaque on it because Cary Grant used to live there/ was born there. I've been looking at a map and I think it was Hughenden Road in Horfield or it might have been St. Leonard's Road. It was certainly one of the roads leading directly off Horfield Common near Wellington Hill. I think one of the buildings in Picton Street, Montpelier claimed he lived there as well but it didn't have a plaque then.

Hey Joanne,
I wonder if you will get this reply, looks like this topic was started in 2006.
Anywho, I seem to have a very similar relation with Cary Grant as you. I'm very certain that he is my grandfathers mothers cousin.
so my great-grandmothers cousin i think.
I was wondering if you ever discovered your full family tree, we may even be related somewhere down the line ha, imagine that!
Be lovely to hear from you,
cheers
Jess  :)

My Grandfather (Idris Alexander Leach) and Cary Grants (Archibald Alexander Leach) Grandfather were brothers
My Grandfather's Grandfather was Benjamin Leach born 29 Jan 1826
Just need to confirm this my Grandmother always told me this
I know Cary Grant's father was Elias James Leach (1873-1935)
Does anyone know who Elias James Leach's father was?

Hi Jess, still looking for that connection I am afraid! The way I was always told we were related is not at all possible as I have proved lol but no harm in keeping looking when I have the time.  A distant cousin of mine has, according to my husband, found the connection and has it down on paper in a proper tree that he says he is sure he has seen.  Confusing I know but my husband is also my distant cousin (4th to be exact lol) and is more closely related to this other chap than I am so I still carry the Leach surname even though I married last year!  with a very busy life we keep saying we must go and see him so I can get a look at this tree but never seem to find the time!  Perhaps if you give me a few of your family names approx dates and places etc. I might be able to establish whether or not me and you are related.

and Paul? momo22 was right.  Elias's father was John Leach. I think his father was George Leach b. approx 1805 but as of yet have no way to prove this.  The only John Leach that seems to match on the 1851 census was aged 9 and all on his tod in the workhouse with no other family members.  I havent come acroos the name of Idris yet whilst searching but probably will do eventually if only to disprove what I, and you possibly, wers told by family members!

Regards

Hi Debbi, what is the exact address for that site? There are several floating around and I would love to get a look at the tree you mentioned!
