So why have we been searching for a leonard born 1906 when you do not know if that is correct year or name?

I have giving you details about a Harold Leonard Brittain could that be him?

I do not know where the other relation got the details for Leonard Brittain(no details shown on his tree).I was just trying to find out myself as I thought my grandmother Gladys only had two sisters Lilian and Winifred.But I discovered on the 1911 census that Frederick and Elizabeth had 5 children born and living.I have since found that my Gmother had another sister Doris,but I am unsure about Leonard.The leonard that Flick refers to is a relative,as his parents William and Eleanor on my tree.I am trying to trace the 5th child that the census refers to.I know the parents Frederick and Elizabeth Brittain(nee Mattock) married in 1899 and had Doris 1902,Lilian 1905,Winifred 1908 and Gladys 1910.There 5th child could have been born any time between 1899 and 1915 when Elizabeth died of tuberculosis,but I cannot find them.It may not even be Leonard.Thank you all for your help. :-)

I've gone through the man's WW1 Pension records, and no children are recorded.

His marriage to Elizabeth was on 19/8/1899

How have you arrived at the name Leonard as being a child of the parents whose names you quote?

As you can't find a birth (nor can we) where did you get the 'info'?
