Hi
As any children could still be alive - their names and details should not be shown here
Please see http://www.rootschat.com/help/posting_guide.php

There is a 1941 marriage on freebmd www.freebmd.org.uk/ and also on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk but groom's christian name was not Leonard. Suggest you use surnames only to search
-
The marriage is in Coventry (Both names as given in your post)
September quarter 1945
Volume 6D Page 2211
-
From the marriages given above - it is very likely you are looking at 2 different families
-
If you are certain that the name of the groom is correct, given that the son you quote has the same unusual name as the father, I'd suggest that it could be the Coventry one that you need.

Hi Carol
I know his first name was layland/ Leyland Race born 1918 Manchester he is my uncle [ but for some reason he was always called uncle bobby
-
There is a birth on freebmd for Leyland Race b 1918 Manchester - mothers maiden name Beattie
No other christian names so where did you get Leonard from?
A Leonard Layland Race b May 1918 died in 1996 in Sussex

Leyland race was born to Elizabeth beattie [ my grandmother ] she first married joseph race then he dies in war 1919 she then married Robert Cain Manchester 1920 he Robert was my grand father,
Uncle Leyland died in ST Leonards on sea Hastings in 1996 :) he must have Leonard as a first or second name,
-
His birth wasn't registered with Leonard - just Leyland so it must have been added at a later date
-
Yes I thought that as well I wonder why he did that :-\

Did he marry twice? There is a marriage of a Leonard L Race in Hastings Sussex in 1966.
Dec quarter Volume 5H Page 553. I won't name the bride as she could be alive still.

Someone found 2 marriages with 2 different ladiesventry my uncle Leyland was born in Manchester lived in conventry and hastings he died 1996 in Hastings [ st Leonards on the sea
-
That is why I wondered if there was a second marriage as the 1966 one was in Hastings. Or could that be his son?

I'm not sure that the 1940 marriage is yours as that was a Leslie Race to a Lillian Oldham, they would have had the child you found born there. If you are sure he married Lillian Oldham, I think it is the Coventry one as that was to a Leonard Race. Unless of course he changed his first name again. ;)
I doubt if he would have married two women with the same name. The only way to be really sure would be to get both marriage certificates and perhaps the Hastings one as well.

Hi Leyland race deffo when born and christened had only the one name of Leyland as I have now his birth cert born 1918 Manchester so he must have at some stage added Leonard ,
