Your Dad's birth certificate will give his mother's maiden name so if you have this you can then find the marriage details of his parents and work backwards from that. Good luck Irene

Its a wonderful name they were married in NUNEATON April 1936 {6d 1831,thats the reg. number} Hopefully if their births agree then that gives an area to start looking

You need to find Leonards birth cert, to get his Mums maiden name and the we can search births for siblings, with any luck.
