Have you found William Thomas Leach on a census with family? On his birth cert or marriage cert, does it give an occupation for father John? and what area would the birth be please, and what was William's mother's name?

Where have you got the name John Leach from for William Thomas's father? Is it a marriage certificate or a birth certificate? It seems much more likely that his father is Walter.
