There is another avenue which may possibly help here and that is the Archives in Southampton,they hold many Records that are not available at Kew London.
So this is another place you can look ,again it will cost you but if you are keen,then i reckon its worth it. Its 15 GBP for them to look it up,if one cannot get there in Person.
So again best of Luck

Re: looking for anyone who may know my dad
Looked at all tonight, regret nothing further to what has been mentioned already, usually my source
shows up any MN involvement. I would guess also possible RN or similar ?

Re: looking for anyone who may know my dad
thank you I will try all the avenues of what you have suggested, when I have the affordability, I am currently trying to obtain some pictures from my second brother who is unfortunately away at the moment I intend to keep going on my quest as I have so many questions. I appreciate all your help and advice finding it a bit overwhelming as I don't have a supporting family, my mum gets angry when I ask questions of the past.
