There is a baptism for Isaac LEECH 05/09/1813 Charlton Kings Gloucestershire son of Thomas & Alice Leech.

In Isaac's marriages to Elizabeth Winstone 1838 and to Mary Ann Britton 1873 the father's name was given as Thomas LEACH.

I can see the condition of the tomb stone in the photo on our web site under the Memorials of the Old Churchyard at Banwell. I take it that the other two mentioned on the stone are son Joel, aged 19 (who you do not list) and another son - Samuel? As you have not yet found the marriage - How you know that Mary's surname was RICHARD?

Today I found the the coroners report in the paper, I will send it to you.

This link to Jimmy Walker's  Merry Folk is a little shorter  but should get it.  Thanks Dave and thanks to the State Library for Victoria, Australia for the photo!  At least I now know his name was Jimmy WALKER and I have now remembered that Colin Middle wrote about them in his Bucket & Spades articles about Weston through Postcards in 2014.

There is another picture here:

Many thanks Dave, That was exactly what I wanted to hear that she couldn't be found anywhere else as a Lydia.  Thank you for taking the time to look - that was really helpful
