Richard Andrews born 1916

[Cooper70]

Hi Can any one offer some guidance.
I am trying to trace a Richard Andrews who is my husbands uncle (he doesn't remember him) I have a date of birth of the 27th July 1916 which I got from the 1939 census where he was living with his parents in Acton.
His parents were Jesse John Andrews and Florence May Pattenden. I cannot find any birth registration at all giving 5 years either side to the birth date on the 1939 census. He died in 1962 (suicide). All the information I have found is from electoral rolls and they always show him living with parents.
Is there any other records I should look at to try and find any information at all about him. I am thinking that maybe he had some medical condition, as he was not called up for army and as far as I can make out never married and left home.
All suggestions gratefully received.
Thank you
