Hi,

Welcome to RootsChat 

What type of information are you looking for?

Do you have him on any census and could you give us his year of birth please?

Hello! That was quick! I only know his wife died before him.. she died in 1921. He was also  a fireman  for Leeds corporation. I have old pipes of his with an inscription but no date.

 PS. I don't know the name of his wife, my grandmother. I was born in 1928. There was a picture of me with him when I was about 3, but I don't have it.

Did he die in 1932?  If so, the death index gives a year of birth as c. 1862

Forget I said that - that was the most likely candidate if he died in Preston, not Scarborough.  Might have to pour myself a glass of red.......
