No it's best to keep to one thread per family as info crosses over

So looking for one child will show the others on a census which means looking for another child on a different thread just brings up the same info

It can be frustrating for helpers to spend their time doing look ups for what's already been found and posted

THANKYOU for your help it seems he was single all his life. Stayed in same house. Just to clarify does each person of same family have a thread ? As I previously asked about his sister thankyou for your help. :-) :-)

It may be he was just a single man who lived and worked in the same area all his life .
He shows on the 1939 record and and his birth and death . Birth certs will have informants names .

Electoral rolls online won't show him but local ones should .these would be at the local main library for the area

It seems very unlikely that the Leonard who married Lucy is the right one.
They lived in Deptford, Woking, and Lewisham through the 1940's and 50's and into the 1960's, per ERs, whereas Kim's Leonard seems to have lived all his life in Layer-de-la-Haye, as far as we can tell. He was certainly there in 1939 and 1984.
