Thank you for looking. I think it's not his real name so I'm at a brick wall. I've posted messages on Birmingham websites in the hope that someone will remember something but so far nothing. There is also no record of a divorce or annulment at the Family Division High Court but Grandma did remarry in 1942 so was this bigamous as well if she wasn't officially divorced from Scott-Riddle? The plot thickens! I will try police records in Birmingham next. many thanks for your interest though.
