The record for this person is officially closed.

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

He married twice

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 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.
