Welcome to the boards Raymond, have you searched trees for his name ( Search at top of page).

Can you give some info, how did you get back to him? Does the Confirmation give his parent's names? Did he marry and to whom? Do you have a marriage cert for age and father's name etc.

Well apart from the census posted he doesn't seem to be on any other records


There is a possible marriage for 1918 but only as Fred

If you don't know who his parents were then getting thencert won't help unless the age fits

It may be worth trying to find his baptism record to see if it gives any parents names but am suspecting he was in care and was baptised then as he hadn't been earlier

Maybe it was a C of E school he was at

If he returned to India? father's name is William so might account for W as middle initial, but it is just a guess
