Sorry, yes he was born in 1906 and the records show that is when his mother died ( obviously in childbirth.)
His sister brought him and his siblings up but her son , my father and aunt know nothing of his whereabouts in latter years,
I have been slogging through the marriage records all afternoon and have found a marriage in dec 1934 in Bournemouth. I quickly sent a txt to my aunt and she said that he did live in Bournemouth and my uncle stayed with them while he worked in a hotel there.
I am now waiting for my aunt to ring to see if she can remember anything else. (at 80+ she needs some prompting now and again).
Will let you know if I find anymore.
thanks
