OK Ruth. 3 questions! Firstly, how did you get back to Henry in the first place? What makes you believe he was born under a different name? And lastly, where do John and Sarah figure in all this?
Just trying to establish all your info is correct - don't want you barking up the wrong family tree!!

a big ask i know. have recently discovered my family history { a little anyway} ! my grandad is called HENRY RADLEY,born 1874 in deptford area kent. however have now found out that his birth name was LEEK., same area. have found on 1901 census a JOHN AND SARAH LEEK,,deptford. i desparetely need to trace this line of the family, not just for obvious reasons but for the sake of my daughter who has baffled drs with a serious illness. john and sarah both born 1850/1. any help at all would be greatfully received. with thanx
