His attestation papers which db was quick to spot perhaps show that his family life was not straightforward.  Check out his next of kin which seems to have an original entry relating to a foster something called Roberts in Colwyn Bay and then sister Blodwen substituted.

That said, in terms of finding descendants to perhaps hand over the medal it will be in Canada that the answers are most likely to be found I imagine.
