Hi, You won't definitely know if the registered birth is correct unless you send for the certificates as pre 1911, mother's maiden name is not listed however pre 1911 I have found a possible Leonard and there is only 1 listing for a Leonard in Bolton, that is where John was born and there are a number of Edith's but one is Edith Helen and wasn't that 1 of mum's names. I have not looked for the other child yet but will post the details in a second. Edith Helen born 4th quarte 1905 in Bolton
