Dear Herb
Thanks for the e-mail.
My William Leigh was born on June 28, 1861, in Abertillery, Monmouthshire, South Wales, UK.
The William Leigh in the Pennsylvania Census is listed in the Allegheny, Coraopolis returns. He's said to be 45, born in England (which I think is taken to include Wales, much to the annoyance of the Welsh!), married to Eva B (aged 37) with a son William R (11) and daughter Elizabeth M (4). That's as much as I know at the moment, but I have a bit on his parents and siblings back in Wales, if it's any use.
Let me know how you get on.
Best wishes, Jane
