After spending a very interesting afternoon with my grandparents trying to prise information out of them my grandmother produced a birth cert for my grt grandad Leonard Alfred Barker b 1901. All this after she had told me he'd been born in 1899 I'd done loads of research only today to find it's the wrong family! Here's my problem I can't find Leonards dad on the 1901 census nor can I find a birth record for him This is all the info I have : (F) Walter John Barker b unknown (M) Sarah Mary Barker (nee Overy) b unknown Leonard Alfred b 30/05/1901 reg june q Hendon Middlesex Address of residence date of b reg is 179 Canterbury rd. Tryin to find any info Checked Ancestry and not looking good Any help would be greatly recieved
