If it is the correct family, I think the sons are Australian, and unfortunately one of them has just died:

Hi Patchem,

Never met Kenneth myself but many moons ago have met his sister's my aunts,Betty and Doris, if it was the same Kenneth.

I am currently researching our family tree and Kenneth was hopefully the last living link to my mothers and their father.

Was this funeral this year?

I can see marriages for the sons, but not their births or his marriage.
So cannot confirm it is the correct person.

Martin,

Have you met any of his children, or have any knowledge that he married, or died young?

Thank-you
