I am trying to trace any information on the above gentleman born 1915 and married 1937. I have his birth and marriage records but they do not help me to much to trace his parents. I will admit it is a very unusual name.

As you have his birth, you will know his mother's maiden anme

Use that to look for their marriage as a starting point

I prefer to use the GRO site when possible for births because it usually gives full middle names rather than just initials.
