Only the one son so you will have to look sideways for family of Leonard and Kathleen
Take a look on freebmd for their births and then possible siblings

So he was 58 at passing which gives you circa birth of 1905

Deaths Sep 1963
PILCHER LEONARD E A 58 ASHFORD 5B 2

Births Sep 1904 (>99%)
Pilcher Leonard Ernest A W Ashford 2a 935

W James Beckhurst Head Married Male Bricklayer Labourer 36 1875 Lasham Hants

Alice Beckhurst Wife - Female - 46 1865 Froyle Hants

Richard James Beckhurst Son - Male School 11 1900 Froyle Hants

Kathleen Beckhurst Daughter - Female School 7 1904 Froyle Hants

this is the same infomation that i have in front of me i had my grandparents marrige certificate in front of me earlier and the witnesses they had was walter albert pilcher and florence edith pilcher

leonards father was thomas walter pilcher

i believe they were both 24

so you need to look for their siblings parents uncles and aunts etc

Look in search members trees to if any family are in them

Its unlikely that family will just pop up with info .you will need to search and maybe buy some certs

i dont know if my dad had any siblings my mother told me that there could of been a brother but he was either the product of an affair or an unwanted child and i think she said his name was john but cant be sure ive bought some certificates but they are hard to read

There is only your dad listed to grandparents so if there was a john he would be reg under his mums name if he was illigitimate

Not picking the family up on the 1911 census

Possible one on the 1901

Do you have Leonard's birth cert for both parents names ?

Wonder about this one ?
