Looking for my mother's-in law father John (or Jack) Hickisey, b. 1905 in London

[Natalia Bruce]

Hello

My mother- in- law is researching her father John (or Jack) Hickisey, born in 01.06.1905 in London.

 She has a copy of 2 old photos of him which were possibly taken in around 1927. There are some numbers on the back of one of the photos: 501 R 20. Does anybody know what these numbers possibly mean?  Thanks.

It is most likely just a reference for the photographer, e.g. an order number, very unlikely to be anything relating to him.

Unusual to see a photo od a person walking for that era. The background is not noticeably out of focus so not using a large aperture. Must have used a fast film

PS welcome to Rootschat.

Edit - I could not find any trace of him. Probably wrong surname. What surname do you get from his death, marriage, birth of children or marriages of them.

I cannot find him 1905 under that surname.In fact I cannot find that surname at all

I attach a screenshot from the photo. If that is the only information for his name then it will be tricky.
See my queries added to my first post.
He and his name look foreign to me. Did he live and marry in the UK? Who, where and when did he marry - if anybody.

There is an ancestry tree which has Jack HICKISEY married Caroline Ellen Maud HEALEY 1931 in New Zealand ( from New Zealand Marriage Index ). Here is a findagrave link :

No birth details given on tree other than London 1905.

Presumably that was also her surname at birth - or no?  What details are on her birth certificate?

[Milliepede]

If he was born London and married NZ then he must have travelled there somehow - passenger list?
