Do you have his marriage certificate to Thelma Barbara Robertson?

This will give you his father's name and occupation, which will help confirm the information already found.


EDIT:-
I can't find anything for a Thelma Barbara Robertson, what do you know about her?

You say you know the name of your great uncle, so could you share with us so we can see if his name fits in anywhere?

Can't see the chcildren in 1939?
May be easier if we had their exact dates of birth, as it is possible that they are under a different name.

Helen, do you have at least Albert Edward's date of birth please?
