Hi

It's difficult to figure out what you might mean by 'more information' - perhaps you can be more specific ?

Meantime:

Vsevolod SOZONOFF
Married 1929 Chelsea, to Mary M MARTIN

I am preuming this is aka Maria  MAROVA, the Soprano?

Seems to be spelled SOZONOV in most Electoral Roll registers for London 1930-1960's

PROBATE 1866:
Of 3 Stanley Bridge Studios, Wanden Estate, London SW6
Died 25 March 1966 at Medical Institute St Augustinus Wilrijk, Antwerp, Belguim
Administration (Limited) London 1 June, to David Barr, Solicitor  Attorney of Wladimir SOZONOFF. Effect s £926

He was an Oil Painter

Do you already know who ' Wladimir SOZONOFF was?

http://kevindaniel.x10.mx/uk.html
Has a biography, an image of a painting, and another of a self Portrait
His father: A Professor of chemistry
His mother:  A doctor.
Sometime after the 1917 Russian Revolution:
He, his mother and some  friends escaped from Russia to Estonia and Holland and then to London. His father had found a job in London  as a chemist.
(Had?) studied at art school in St. Petersburg
.
And more……
(Note It says he died in London too, which, if the details in the probate are correct, is not right).

Do you already know who his parents were?
