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

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

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 believe they were both 24

leonards father was thomas walter pilcher

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
