Surname - Leonard
« on: Wednesday 05 April 06 02:58 BST (UK) »
Looking for info on my great grandfather Robert Charles Leonard.  I know he was born in 1882 and I believe he was born in England just before coming to Canada.  I have found a person matching the name born in Thetford, registered Dec 1882.  What I would like to know, is it possible to find the birth parents of this child.  My Robert Leonard's parents are J Leonard and Rebecca Coates-(Maiden Name).  Sorry I have no other information on his parents except what I found in Robert's Canadian marriage certificate.  If any one can help I would greatly appreciate it.

I found that Robert C Leonard on the 1891 census for Thetford, but the mother is Caroline.. do you want that info?

Thanks so much for your quick response but I guess I won't need the info, but you did at least answer my question about this Robert Leonard.  Here's another one, how do you get the picture on your page, I see the one of your Dad, I tried but not sure how to do it.  Again thanks for your response.

PS if that doesn't work, there are a number of helpful links, topics in Technical Help in the Common Room
