Does any one know if he married or not I have come across a photo of Warren in a military uniform so I guess he was in the war given the year he was born. There seems to be no information about him other than his parents and siblings. I wonder weather he came home from the war.

Have you tried using FreeBMD.org.uk?
It's a freetranscription of the GRO Indexes to Births, Marriages & Deaths. ;D

Marriages, December qtr 1938
Sheffield Registration District     vol 9c, page 1347

Duncan, Warren
Connor, Lily


You should also be able to find him on the 1939 National Register?
Available on FindMyPast.
Searching the Index is free, but it costs to see details.

Warren Duncan, Lily Duncan + 2 others (who are locked) are in Sheffield.

I think that marriage to Lily was a second marriage, as this also looks like him:

Marriages September quarter 1919 
 Agnes Allison       Sheffield 9c   1146   
 Warren Duncan  Sheffield 9c   1146

with possibly 4 children
