Roger, try searching also under his middle name as well as first name. Sometimes names switch around.

Thanks Monica I tried this still no luck.  Some very clever people replied;even telling me when he died.
 how one finds this is new/unknown to me.

Thanks BumbleB  missed the wedding because of train delays.  His entry on the 1939 register a bit more tricky, he might have been evacuated.
