For births 1942  death 1995 there are 20 male entries, 17 with birth date, 3 without(only year).

Any connections with surname Reid or Howard?
There are two Lusa's relatively near both born c 1866
Lusa E Reid ironically living at Oaklands, Beckenham in 1881 and
Lusa C Howard living in Bromley, Kent in 1901

Hi,
There is a possibility for Lionel here which could tie in with other reports... search for Esme Dunkley.
