Answer 2

he has probably passed on by now..have you checked death records

Answer 3

You could try checking the electoral rolls and the local newspapers classified announcements/personal notices to see if there is any information in those. Failing that, why not place an ad in the local paper in the Somerstown area asking if anyone knows of this couple and could they please contact you. If you write to the editor of the paper, you may be able to have a short notice inserted in community notices at no cost.

If these avenues don't work, why not try a site such as Genes Reunited asking for help there. You can register free. Good luck.
