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

[groom]

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

[groom]

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.

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?

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,
