What sort of information are you looking for?  Do you want to go backwards and find out where he was born, parents etc...or do you want to go forwards and find out what happened to him after 1960?

Do you know for certain that he is now deceased?    We aren't supposed to post the names of living people.

I am assuming he is deceased since wrestlers from back then dont have a long shelf life

It is best to say if you have another thread on the subject, it saves doubleing up.

For those looking, the first time he went to England was in 1954. It doesn't say how long he was going to be staying but it did say his future intended permanent residence was "other parts of the British Empire" so presumably he returned to Canada. His occupation was listed as side gluer. His listed address for the UK was 313 Brixton Rd, London.

His return in 1957 gives his birth date as 11 Dec 1932. This time he listed his occupation as wrestler and he gave the same London address for where he was staying.

The article that YoungTug posted says in one spot that he was from Toronto and in another that he was from Windsor, Ontario. It also says he was a WWII veteran.
