My arriving ancestor. As I understand the story, Benjamin was sent to Australia aged 15 after his parents caught him "fraternising" with the chamber maid. Benjamin was a twin, and his twin brother, who reamined in England, was the great grandfather of Archibald Leach, who went to America seeking fame and fortune, and found it, after changing his name....to Cary Grant.
Benjamin is buried in Salisbury Cemetary. Leach - Cotton - Simpson (Oliver Cecil Simpson skippered the ketch Cecilia, Percy Simpson was Commodore of the Yacht Club) - Hunt (me).
