Leonard Charles Stanley Moore was born in Kingston-Upon-Thames, Surrey, England to Edward Thomas Moore (born 1850), a bricklayer, and Annie Jane Saunders Asplund (born 1852). His father hailed from Gravesend, Kent whilst his mother was a native of Waltham Cross in Hertfordshire, and they married in Camberwell on October 14th, 1871, producing a total of 10 children, 5 of whom survived infancy. Leonard's siblings were: Jessie Beatrice (born 1873), Ada Florence Saunders (born 1875), Eveline Edith (1878 - 1878), Maud Ethel (1881 - 1882), Clieve (or Cleave) Alfred (born 1883), Olive Maud Saunders (born 1885), Maud Annie (born 1887), Bertha Gertrude Asplund (blrn 1890), and possibly John.

He first appears on the 1901 census living with his parents and siblings Ada (25), Clieve (17), and Maud (13). Jessie and Olive left home and lived at Bellevue Road in Kingston. Jessie (27) was a coffee shopkeeper and Olive (15) was a waitress, most likely at Jessie's coffee shop. Cleave Alfred married Florence Evelyn Asplund in the summer of 1907 in Kingston. They had a daughter, Marjorie Gertrude, born in early 1910.

Aboard Titanic/April 14th-15th, 1912:
Leonard's family later moved to Acre Road and he appeared there on the 1911 census, by that time Leonard being described as a bricklayer, like his father and brother. Ada (35) was a dressmaker and Cleave was a bricklayer. Florence Moore (30), and his mother Marjorie Moore also lived with them. In 1911, Leonard has travelled to Hoboken, New Jersey with Cleave. They left Southampton, England as 3rd class passengers on the RMS Adriatic on April 5th, 1911, arriving in New York on April 13th, 1911. They were noted as unmarried bricklayers at the age of 18 and 28 respectively (Cleave was married). They were both able to read and write. Leonard was listed Stanley Charles Moore. Their last place of permanent residence was listed as Kingston-upon-Thames and their closest relative in England was their father, E.T Moore who lived at Acre Road in Kingston. They were bound for Hoboken, New Jersey, where they had a friend, a D.L Duffy, who lived at Adams Street. They could both produce the 25 dollars needed to be allowed in the USA when they arrived. Leonard was 5'4 tall, had brown hair and blue eyes - Cleave was 5'8 tall.

In America, they settled in Willow Avenue and commenced work in the building trade. Leonard then returned to England at some point during the winter of the 1911/1912 and was, in April of 1912, returning to Hoboken, where his brothers still lived at the time. The White Star Line gave his 1912 address as Acre Road, Kingston-upon-Thames. He boarded the RMS Titanic as third class passenger. Leonard died in the sinking and his body if recovered, is never identified. His parents received £75 from the Relief Fund.
