Is this Leonard in the 1911 census? :-

1911 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
6 Wilfreds Terrace Sharp Street Newland Avenue Hull, Sculcoates, Yorkshire, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Occupation Age Birth year Birth place

John Alfred Stainforth Head Married Male House Joiner 33 1878 Hull Yorks
Margaret Stainforth Wife Married Female - 33 1878 Hull Yorks
Leonard Stainforth Son - Male - 1 1910 Hull Yorks<<<<<<<<<<

If so then this seems to be his parents marriage:-

First name(s) JOHN ALFRED
Last name STAINFORTH
Marriage quarter 2
Marriage year 1909
Registration month -
MarriageFinder™ JOHN ALFRED STAINFORTH married
MARGARET CROWTHER
District BEVERLEY
District number -

Page 237

I can't find any Stainforth/Crowther births after 1911, so was Leonard perhaps an only child?
