Welcome to rootschat :)

There is a birth of a Cyril D Porter in September quarter 1924 registerd in Alverstoke Hampshire. With mum of Leeson ref Alverstoke 2b 916 source freebmd.org. Is he yours?

From March 1912, spouses are shown on marriages  searches but I  personally am not managing to find a Leeson Porter marriage. How sure are you of the names? If you have Cyril's birth certificate, that will give his mums maiden name if she was married and dad's name - if a dad is named that is.

Did Cyril have any siblings, there are a few born a few years either side of Cyril's birth within the same area Porter with mother nee Leeson

I cannot so far find a marriage that fits

Have you looked for his parents on 1939
