I don’t think this is the person you are looking for.  I think this was possibly a business trip given the address was a hotel

Yes...it does rather throw up more questions than it answers. But...the only reference to Desmond's dad was Jervis...J Salter. I had previously thought that this was his mothers dad who he was referring to because he didnt know his own...

He was brought up in a RC orphange in Mill Hill, London til he was 15 (or so the story goes...) and then he left to join Navy.
He met and married Margaret May Maxfield in 1942 (i have specific dates somewhere) in Sheffield and they had my dad................
