Family History Beginners Board / Can anyone help me?

I have previously put a post regarding trying to trace my husbands father.
My mother-in-law has been etremely secretive giving us details on him.She has just visited us & we have a little more info & I don't know where to begin
She says his D.O.B is 20th September 1935 & he was called Ernest Hibbert, His birth mother was called Maria Hall & apparently was murdered by her husband in Durham! He was then brought up by a couple called Jack Wild(e) & Annie Waters.
They later changed his first name to Alan. He lived at 29 Victoria Rd, Askern Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
He went into the Cold Stream Guards aged 17 in 1952 & probably stayed there until 1962/3.
He then stayed in London & was with the Richardson gang which rivaled the Krays! -(we think this could be why she's may have been secretive)
He met & married my mother-in-law in 1966 in Pontefract, West Yorks & they went on to have 3 other children, including my husband.
He left in 1981 when my husband was 14 yrs.
She has given us his national insurance number - although we don't think we can use this to gain any info on him.
We have tried all our previous links with the help from roots members & I'm hoping that with this new info we can try & find something out about him.
