London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: joseph william kentish

Apologies. It has taken quite a while for me to restart this project.
Joseph William Kentish was born in Bethnal Green London in 1912. He was a twin but his sibling died quite quickly after birth. He was in WW2, we think in the Royal Army Service Corps as a cook or similar. He married Phoebe Kentish and they had a daughter in November 1944. Soon after the girl was born JWK abandoned the family and was not heard of again but there was a Court maintenance order which was paid for several years. There was a suspicion of another woman/family but no evidence has been found. The last sighting was in around 1948 in London. We can find no record of JWK's death under his given name. There has been no contact with other Kentish family since. We would like to find out what name change might have occurred. Is this a hopeless task? I am the husband of his daughter.
