Many thanks to you all -- I'm overwhelmed by your swift and helpful replies.

I knew nothing about the Gubbins family; only a little about the Blackers (her father was a civil engineer).

Travelling back to Port Said on 7 Nov 1931 with his wife, who was 4 years younger than him. He is ousted as an Egyptian gov official and gives a U.K. Address c/o Blacker, 49 Welholme road, Grimsby.

Travelling to Singapore in 1924, he gives his address as The Rectory, Princes Risborough, Bucks

He also went to Cheltenham College

[HughC]

Thanks, jc26red.  In fact his wife was about four years older, but I've learned never to believe the age that a woman admits to!
And I'll see whether I can find a Cheltenham College register.
