Thank you so much for the words of inspiration Billy...

I spoke to my nan last night and apparently...the dance hall he worked at was near richmond road in London...this came under Kingston when i googled...she said she worked in a hotel near there at the time.

and that is all...i've googled 50s clubs for that area and all i got was the regal cinema...doesn't state whether it was a dancehall in that period.

apparently her mother(my GR N) said that he was emigrating to South America...convenient this?! ::) as apparently in the 70's he came looking for them!

it's sooooo frustrating :(

Frustrating maybe! but a possible book in the making.
Can you imagine how fascinating is will be for generations to come to read what you are finding out.
You have got me hooked!
