I've just had a look at the London electoral registers for 1955 (random year) which are available with a sub on Ancestry.

There are about 30 plain James Lee's listed all across the region.

Do you have access to Ancestry? if not try your local library as many have free in-house access.

As you say, it's a long shot and will take quite a while but you could look at each of the names and plot their movements backwards and forwards and see who they are living with and try to rule out certain men by cross referencing with the death index.

Also have a look on the GRO England & Wales death index upto 2007 on Ancestry to see if there are any possible entries who may have a similar birthdate but not quite right.

Based on him having no middle name I have narrowed it down to for possibles.

Was there a census in 1951? I can cross reference the 4 as a start.
