The entry on Ancestry was updated earlier this month.  It gives a little more detail of his death, the names and address of his wife and daughter, who returned to Northern Ireland etc.  If he was John Charles as seems to be suggested then Free BMD has a strong candidate in the March quarter of 1942 in Thanet district.  I think it's possible some battalions of the Royal Sussex Regiment were on coastal defence duties at that time.
IMBER, can you recall where you saw the info about John Roberts wife and daughter?

Hello, I am coming to this discussion very late - the reason being I have just found the wedding registration between my 1st cousin once removed, Alexandra McNeice and John Roberts (2nd Jan.1940). However, I see from previous posts that poor Alexandra seems to have suffered the same fate as that of her mother (widowed as a result world war)!
Thankfully, again like her mother, a child has been born before the father died! Needless to say I would be very interested in finding the outcome of this child (my 2nd cousin), and hopefully subsequent generations.
