Henry married Marguerite Salmon (approx 1942-1943). They never divorced but did not remain in a relationship. Harold Thomas (Ted) was born in 1944. Ted married Cecile and they have two boys Kenneth and Steven twins born 1969. Kenneth married Susy Sargent we have a son Tomas born 1995 to carry on the Leach name. In August 2013 after more than 10 years of leaving contact information all over the web the England family found us. This family connection has given us so many answers. We could never find Albert Henry Leach in England nor could the Canadian government, we have since found out he was actually born Albert Henry Parsons. To add to the fun he died as Henry Harold Leach.

I wish I could have more minutes with Pop's just to get some anwers.

This would not have been possible without the help of Perry Snow of the BHC, many thanks for helping with the connection.
