You are good! :-)

Looks like it could be the case. Leah had George but was unmarried. Her older sister, Dinah and husband raised George. Looks like George took on Grindle last name when he got older... or could have been adopted. Some time shortly after census, Leah and Moses Bate(s) get together. So far, can't find 'official' marriage for them... so for some reason they may not have. (Could he have been married to someone else & could not afford a divorce?)

I also, found Leah on a 1871 census with her sister Roseanna & brother-in-law Charles Griffith:
