Hi, Roger,
I have a little information about Leon Allen Waghorn, whose birth was recorded in Hollingbourn Registration District in the June quarter of 1883 (ref.2a.722). His marriage was registered in June quarter 1910 at Portsmouth (2b.933) to either Ellen Sophia Finch, Kathleen Louise Teale or Alice Auckland Walker (from RootsWeb freeBMD)
Brother Charles (b.reg. Sept 1887 Hollingbourn 2a.755)
His parents were John Waghorne, bc1859 East Sutton & Frances Kenward m.rec.June 1879 Hollingbourn 2a.989.
(I see that much of this info. came from you in the first place, but I may have added some, so I'll send it anyway)
All the best - Ted Stock [email protected]
