I have found that 1923 marriage on familysearch.

This one was born in 1902 so it is not my Leonard.  Mine was born in 1872.

I couldn't see how old this one was but 1902 oh well not him then.  Was a bit of a long shot.

This is all the census information I have about Leonard.  Notice that his name is sometimes transcribed as Morton.

1881 Leonard Moreton 19 Albert Road, Sheffield - scholar.  Living with parents and siblings.
1891 Leonard Morton 16 Staveley Road, Sheffield - Blacksmith's stoker (I think!.  It's a bit hard to read the orginal image).  Lodger at this address.
1901 Leonard Morton 20 Trinity Street, Sheffield - Bricklayer.  Married and living with his wife and two daughters.
Missing in 1911.  I cannot find him on FindMyPast or ancestry.

I found that one on FindMyPast as it doesn't appear to be on ancestry.

Back in a minute.  Just need to find the family he lodged with.

The head of a the house was a Thomas Moore.

The whole image is very hard to read.

Just had another look on freebmd for Leonard Morton and still nothing matches what I'm looking for.

I tried the correct spelling earlier and got the same results.
