Find Ancestors

hi.i haven't been on the genes site for quite a while,and the format has changed a bit so I hoping I am in the right place.i am looking for any info on above name,al;though he was not a direct relative of mine he was married to my mothers aunt,i met him a few times when I was younger and found him a nice man,and always wanted to know more about him.I was told that he came from the Portsmouth area and he fought against the Japanese in Burma in the war and was poss a p.o.w,so I am only assuming he could have been born in the early 1920sor a bit earlier.He was married to Dorothy(doll) Thomas who waS born in soho London when?,they lived in ingestre buildins ,ingest pl soho and he worked as a tailor,and they had a daughter named hazel.This really is all I know about him, and any info on him would be great.thank you,alan long

Looks like both parents died at the same or similar time. The influenza outbreak I think was rife then,
