Could this be him in 1920? He's a cement finisher whereas in 1940 he was a mason. Close enough?

You say you've been "looking for" this man.
So you must know something about him already.

When you say,"am I likely to find out anything more about this man. ", do you mean only after 1942?
Or are you looking for information in general, at any time?

What do you already know about him?

To confirm I was hoping to find a marriage or children but I now think this is unlikely. As what has been posted pretty much answers that question. Thanks
