Look for him in ‘search all member trees’

No indication on the birth info on freebmd relating to adoption, so name should be the same

Have you looked anywhere for info yourself?

Malyon -

the Peterborough marriages are likely to be those of a John Anthony Leeke who was born in Peterborough.

Second forenames are not on the birth index for the period in question

No point, anyway, in posting the birth - the OP gave the relevant details

He could still be adopted. The addition of the S suffix on the page number only appeared for the 60s-80s.

That’s because, as I wrote earlier, the second forename isn’t on the index In those times. One has to assume the poster has bought a copy of the cert

Rose

thanks for that clarification

Put him in your GR tree. If he, or anyone connected, tries researching ,they'll be able to contact you

He isn't in anyone's tree at the moment.

His mother is in yours, but no-one else's

You refer to John as a half-brother, but you and he both have same MMN :-S

I see you have the other sibling in your tree

Purely for INFO

Marriages Sep 1939 (>99%)

Haseley Phyllis M Leeke Dorchester 5a 1523
Leeke Arthur Haseley Dorchester 5a 1523

As Phyllis was married to Leeke, for John to be the OP's half-sibling, it has to be assumed that she gave false info about the father when registering the two births in Bodmin district
