Searching on Family Search (all resources), Krakofsky in Surname and Poland leads to a submitted entry for Barnet, but there are contact details there - address and this leads to http://www.genealogy.com/users/o/w/e/James-Owen-portland/?Welcome=1075103873 with a contact email, don't know how old the data is though?

Do you have his naturalisation certificate?

National Archives ref: HO 144/1479/341706
Barnett Cracowski from Russia, resident in Manchester, certificate 5002 which was issued on 13th November 1919.

I got someones naturalisation papers a couple of years ago through their digital express service, it depends how many pages there are but for the one I got it cost less than a tenner and there was tons of useful information, for about £18 you can get them in a few hours.

added - of course the speeling you have is the englih verison - you would need to get it translated into the Polish spelling before searching the polish documents or it will draw a blank.
