The children on the passenger list Mike posted were noted as "c/o Catholic Emig Assoc, Coleshill, Birmingham."

There might be more details on one of the "Home Children" sites.

That Violet probably married Henry Cox - there are Cox/Grange births in Pancras and Islington but no Peek/Grange births

His birth date of Jan 1st. I wonder if the person recording the detah didn't know and the date was just 'chosen' to suit his approx. age?

Do you have his marriage cert which might give his father's name - are you sure he was born in England?

Marriages Dec 1937 (>99%)

Grange Charles V Huntingford Westminster 1a 1244
HUNTINGFORD Vera C Grange Westminster 1a 1244

I can find the above couple in 1964 on the Electoral roll with a son.

Edit: they are on the Electoral Roll from 1945 to 1964 at the same address. There seem to be two different ERs for 1945. I was hoping one of them might be an Absent Voters list, showing that Charles was in the Services so that you could possibly get his Service Record but they both seem to just be the same people - possibly one is a copy.
