RaguoC: I assume you already know this:-

He seems a lot older than I expected.
His wife had an address in West Kensington when she returned the Form to the CWGC, yet he is buried at North Sheen. Is that where his parents lived?

There is a website PIPL which might help locate further avenues to explore.
Did he mention a brother?
