Welcome to RootsChat.
So far I haven't found him on an American census.
Nanticoke Cemetery, Luzerne County, has an interment for a Leslie McKenna, but the dates don't match with your Leslie.
Leslie McKenna, date of birth unknown, died April 1935. Buried April 23, 1935. Inscription reads: "Age 52 yrs".
There are no other McKenna's buried in this cemetery.
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi
The town/city of Nanticoke is about 28 miles away from White Haven.
Also, there are no Leslie McKenna's on the Pennsylvania census in 1920 or 1930. (The name could be spelled incorrectly, however.)
-------------
There aren't any L or Leslie McKenna's on the 1930 U.S. census who were born within 5 years of 1880. (There are a few men with the middle initial L, none born in Scotland.)
