Is he KNOWN to have been alive and in the UK in 1921?

Did he marry?

Where was he in 1939 - if alive?

Checked 1921……..no-one on there matching his details

When was your last trace of him. The Electoral rolls for London are pretty good and consider whether he served in WW1 and died or was a victim of the Spanish Flu.
