I came up with that one too but was wondering if there are anymore  Leon Allison with the same birth date in the USA

There is no national birth registry in the United States [births are registered by the individual states] so it is virtually impossible to answer that question with the information that is available online.

oh right that makes things so hard wish there was a national register lol

[Erato]

Ah, I take it you are not a federalist at heart.

[johannah1]

I don't know what federalist is. In England we have national registers for births marriages and deaths,which makes it very easy to search for  people countrywide

"very easy to search for  people countrywide"

True.  On the other hand, we have censuses freely available [and not copyrighted] up to 1940.

The 1940 census lists eight people named Leon Allison born between 1930 and 1932 - one each in Alabama, Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, Tennessee and South Carolina and two in Texas.  You can see them here:
