Looking for mother of Stanley John Leonard from Albury NSW

[sparrett]

Can anyone find a marriage between Edward LEONARD/LENARD etc and Elizabeth Ellen IRELAND.  Perhaps they didn't marry.

There is not a recorded marriage in either NSW or Vic.
The other children who may possibly have been siblings to Stanley seemed to have remained in NSW

So the family story is not accurate.

I suggest you purchase Elizabeth Ellen's 1942 death certificate.  As she died in hospital the information will be what Ellen gave herself.  Of course if she may have said she married Edward, but to date no marriage registration has been found and I have searched very thoroughly.  Hopefully the certificate will help you.

It is helpful for us to have all the information including anything found on certificates, all in your initial request.

And/Or link previous threads on the same subject.
A lot of valuable time saved that way.

I went back looking to see if birth was posted, but missed that, as under the censuses that had not been found.

Birth certificate to be bought, or has that also been suggested?

[wivenhoe]

I think this birth certificate would be useful -

10743 / 1889 LENARD   Stanley      ps  Edward / Helen              Albury

father's occupation, age, birthplace, previous issue etc.

Didn't bother with census - too busy researching and transcribing Aussie info.  Have her parents' marriage.  Why buy the English birth certificate.  We have the family arriving in Vic and her father's digitised Will and Ellen's death naming her parents.

I agree with Wivenhoe -far more important to purchase this cert

WW2 service file has his birth 8 Sep 1889.

Search NSW BDM using this date and it's a match.

The OP has certs according to her previous request perhaps she would like to type up the exact information as detailed on the relevant certificates.

Thank you all for the amazing amount of information gathered in so short a time. I take your point about having all the info in the first post. I wrote a few lines without having everything at hand. I think you have all solved the mystery of Ellen Leonard. Stanley Leonard's story has been slowly unfolding, but now I have more info - The ww2 info is surprising.
Thanks again everyone, you are all very generous with your help and time.
Cheers,
