	I cannot find either William Leonard or Lena Rebecca for certain sure on any other censuses I'm afraid this is a case where you are going to have to buy their marriage certificate in order to get the names of their fathers :-(
	Researching: My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

Member Since: September 2014 Posts: 7 Send Message	And my grandfather served in WW2 - I believe the Irish Guards based in London. This is how he met his wife (surname Daly from Coatbridge, Scotland). I know he was a prisoner of war in Japan, so I have been trying to find more info on his wartime stuff.

Member Since: September 2014 Posts: 7 Send Message	Thanks. What are the last few records you posted MaureeninNY ?

	??Sorry-I don't really understand the question.Must be too early here. The 1891 census from Find My Past shows your William Leonard MILES with his brother(Ben Franklin MILES) and father Job in the Bicester workhouse. You can find the family(minus William) in 1901 with mother Sarah and father Job. Maureen
