Family tree completion, Looking for the family of Frederick (1880) and Elizabeth (nee Webb). Fred and my great aunt Lizzie live in Morley Road Leyton E10. I'm sure they had at least two sons one of which was Reginald and another may of been Leslie.

Beside yourself, both Ashley and Stuart have 'a' Frederick in their trees.
Ashley also has 'a' Reginald.
