Only found out about birth name being Behn when going thru papers after his death when found the deedpoll which set about me trying to find out as much as possible, I have traced the Behn family back to 1825.
Just some gaps that I am now looking into 1911 census being one as to where they were living and with whom.
Harry Behn so I was told went to school in France/Belgium have nothing in writing to prove this, only that he was fluent in french, just thought it strange that a son of a sugar merchant should be sent abroad.
Thomas Leslie was asked about the family but said he and his brother were not close, only that his mother had a hard life with John Frederick Behn, who was a widower he had 8 child from a previous marriage
thanks for your help
