Thank you for your response.
I was in the middle of adding/modifying my post and must have pressed the Send button and then had an incoming 90 minute phone call! I will try to get my head back into 'brickwall' mode of posting. Further detail to come.

Conchan is a older spelling of Onchan!
But same place.

Found him on 1921 in Islington. Ancestry have him as Fred Ethel Anstroths, but by his age, pob [Fife] and occupation (once you read the image) fairly sure it's him!
Died in 1943?

An F Anstruther (an unusual name on Island) is noted as a mourner at the funeral ( 28 May 1908) of Thomas Weston who was landlord of the Talbot Hotel in Athol Street - maybe this was his watering hole - might also be worth do a search of newspapers in case he had other social links

He was recorded as Frederick Elliott Anstruster in the 1939 Register.
Occupation: Journalist.
DOB: 13 May 1872.
Single.
Living with many others at 58 Nelson Square, Southwark, London.
