Leigh moved to the United States as a child with his parents and a sister Gladys and a brother Clive. After the deaths of his father and sister he returned to Stanhope , where he lived with his uncle William Collingwood Bell and received his education in Stanhope School. Years later he drove a taxi in the United States and on his return to Stanhope he was married on February 28, 1938 to Ivy Merrill Marshall (born on October 8, 1920, the daughter of Lawrence and Evelyn (Williams) Marshall of Stan?? hope.)

This comprised 13 V & acres, subsequently increased to 25 acres with the addition of adjoining parcels of land. Leigh sold this to Hubert Roberts before buying a 100 acre farm in 1954 on the Stanhope (formerly the Edward Douglas property) where they built a house and raised five children, who were all educated at Stanhope School.
