Certainly a man of mystery!! We have no birth record at all, my Nan and Dad said he had told them he came from Clonmel but that was probably just convenient! I am hoping when I receive the records from Dublin that they will shed more light on him, parentage, birth place etc. Have to keep everything crossed. I will let you know how I get on. Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you. Michael Joesph Leonard was my Grandfather. He arrived in the UK 1923 having enlisted in the British Army. Why he put Mary Finn down as his next of kin I have no idea. Yesterday was the first time I had heard the name. We have always been lead to believe he was orphaned at an early age, he had put his father's name on his marriage certificate as John Leonard, farmer, deceased.
I have also requested his Free State Army records from Dublin, but these take a few weeks. (something else we knew nothing about).

Sorry for the mis-information, as you have probably seen, this has all been a huge surprise. I look forward to any help or advice and will return in the morning. Thank you very much.

He was Michael Joseph Leonard, his Father was John (only know this as it is on Grandads marriage certificate.) So you can see what problems I have had.
I will have to close now, but will return tomorrow. I appreciate your help.
