I have good news though i managed to track Great Grandad down on Genes Reunited.

Sadly one of his brothers and his farther have passed away, :'(but it was a happy reunion all the same, with allot of emotion.

That would have been 1940 and I cant find any remarriages, births or death of this bloke, he has vanished. 
to what or where to look
am unsure where they lived I guess Horsham, as thats were dad settled down, with my mother and they had kids there. I know dads mother remarried, so they must of devoiced, as its a touchy subjected with dad, looks like his dad walked out never to return.
like I said any suggestions, Daisy am getting really desperate



Or immigrated can anyone help, any suggestions
