The Family of Joseph Leach and Hannah Marston (1878-)
Interestingly the birthplace for Hannah is Norwood, Surrey in the 1901 census. This is clearly wrong as there are no Harry Marston births in Surrey in the years around 1897, whereas there is an entry for Harry in Wharfedale.
Ellen married Robert Sawford on 23 December 1899 at Fewston. The couple do not appear on any 1901 census for England but that may be due to spelling difficulties. There are four Sawford births in Wharfedale in the period 1900-1910 and none in Wharfedale between 1880 and 1900. These births may be reasonably assumed to be attributable to the couple.

In 1911 Robert, Ethel and the first three children are living at Spinksburn and Robert is a roadman. Robert enlisted during the First World War. He joined the Royal Engineers (Railway Troops) and qualified as a steam roller driver. His military record can be found in the appendix.
The young Ethel had the misfortune in 1938, on her way home from church, to find the body of Margaret Peel who had been murdered in her shop in Fewston. A full account of the murder may be found in an excellent article by Julie Craven.
