On this day, 27 July, in 1884...

As part of my blog, I will do a short 'On this day' article featuring a member of the Sarson family.

On this day, 27 July, in 1884, Leonard Maurice Sarson was born. His date of birth is recorded on his Baptism entry, which took place on 14 September 1884, at St Luke's Church, Evelyn Street, Deptford, Kent, England [1]. He is the son of Edward, a Baker, and Mary Sarson (nee Steel) of 176 Evelyn Street. 

His birth was registered in the September Quarter of 1884 in the Greenwich registration district [2]
