Do you know when and where he was born? You need to check the IGI first to see if his baptism is on there.

Ellen,

Where was the first child William born? Do you know where James and Mary were married?

You do not say which Leigh the marriage took place in, that may help find him if we knew what area he came from. Good luck Irene
