Bit of a puzzle here, as the J A Leach who died in 1916 is John Arthur:-
UK, Soldiers Died in the Great War, 1914-1919 about John Arthur Leach Name: John Arthur Leach Birth Place: Rock Ferry, Cheshire Residence: Rock Ferry Death Date: 1 Jul 1916 Death Location: France & Flanders Enlistment Location: Knowsley Park, Prescot, Lancs Rank: Private Regiment: King's (Liverpool Regiment) Battalion: 18th Battalion Number: 34553 Type of Casualty: Killed in action Theatre of War: Western European Theatre
.....................................................................................
..................but, the family in 1901 and 1911 census have James Arthur as their son?

There is a war death posted on the CWGC site for a J. A. Leach, age 40, killed 1916 and shown as son of Mrs. Leach, 32 Mersey Lane, Rock Ferry, Birkenhead. I've been trying to find out if this person is connected to my Leach family but I can't seem to find him. Is there a site where you can put in the address and find who lived there?
Thanks Yvonne
