I can't see any further children born after 1911 with a Stainforth father and mother maiden name Crowther.

Leonard's birth appears to have been registered under Sculcoates:

Births Mar 1910 STAINFORTH Leonard Sculcoates 9d 269

if that is correct, it could be that one of these following births might be his sibling, but they could just as easily have other parents. Neither appear to have been born in time to be named in census 1911 (which might have helped eliminate them).

Births Jun 1911
Stainforth Priscilla J Sculcoates 9d 269
Stainforth Ruth A Sculcoates 9d 205

As I say, either or neither might be siblings to Leonard.

Was Priscilla the name of John's mother?

Looks like Priscilla WAS the name of John's mother...

Census 1881

Address: 7, Rutland Pl, Norfolk St, Sculcoates
County: Yorkshire (East riding)

STAINFORTH, John Head Married M 28 1853 Painter Hull, Yorkshire
STAINFORTH, Pricilla Wife Married F 24 1857 Hull, Yorkshire<<<<<<<<<
STAINFORTH, John A Son Single M 3 1878 Hull, Yorkshire<<<<<<<<<<<<
STAINFORTH, William A Son Single M 1 1880 Hull, Yorkshire
STAINFORTH, James H Son Single M 0 1881 Hull, Yorkshire

If you believe Leonard might have had a sister, then I would go for this one of the two I posted earlier:

Births Jun 1911 Stainforth Priscilla J Sculcoates 9d 269

BUT it's pure guesswork based on the forename.

Do you have reason to believe there was a second child? If so, might be worth spending the £9.25 on the cert.

Are you sure that Crowther was Margaret's maiden name?

She would have been over 30 when she married Stainforth

Thank you all for your help. You have all hit on the right family but the children suggested( born after 1911) are definitely not my ancestors. I am beginning to think the scraps of information I had are not correct. Thanks again.
