Answer 1

Did your grandfather have any brothers or sisters that he might have mentioned names for?? If so, www.familysearch.org (the free LDS, or Mormon, site) is about the only one that lists Jamaica in its list of countries.  If you want me to look some names up, my email address is in my profile.

     Did you mean  after WW2 that he moved to the UK?? If he's not been in touch with his family, and as much as I hate to say it, he may not still be living. The reason I say it is that my Dad was born in 1923, and had he lived, he'd be going on 85 this year, and he served in WW2.
