If you buy the marriage cert............£9.25 from www.gro.gov.uk, you will find out his FULL name.......his age, and the name and occupation of his father.

You need as much factual info as possible with such a name..............

Your grandmother's second marriage........which helps to narrow the time-scale for his death......assuming she was widowed, as opposed to divorced.
