There's one Leonard Rowe listed fairly close to Dagenham. He's only on the eroll to 2002 though so may not be there now, or may be deceased.

Sorry for your loss, Davis. Have you managed to find an address book or a list of Christmas Card recipients?

There was a Leonard Rowe living in clacton-on-sea to 2013. There's also a Probate Calendar entry for a Leonard Rowe in 2013 which is the same year as the house was last sold.

There's a listing for a John G Chandler in Dagenham to 2002. The property was last sold in 2001. It's possible he moved at that time. Will send PM with the address in case you wish to follow it up.
Its possible the listing is for this gentleman. He would be a bit older than your father.

PM from Davis - the Dagenham address for John Chandler rings a bell. The family believe he is still alive. Have asked if they know of any children, and their names, in case the children are easier to trace.
