Might any benefit come from electoral rolls/street directories for Bournemouth?
Hello Merry - if I knew where to find them, it would be interesting to know whether he was living with John Arthur Dowsett - I never really worked out what happened to John

I think the photo was taken around 1938 - the only written description I recall finding of him was by David Irving, who described him as "meek", "mild", "mouse-like", with gold rimmed-glasses ( http://www.fpp.co.uk/speeches/speech281092.html). This would have been around 1963.

Film star - LOL Merry - I think he aspired to be a radio star
