You don't say when this was, or when he was born.

Is this the man? Or his son William? Or someone more recent?

You should be able to follow the family through freebmd.org.uk
if the above is correct then you may find those children on the 1939 register.
Once you have given your dates then you could ask for help in finding the family in the 1821 census , which is only available on FMP.

Added: they don’t appear in the 1926 kelly’s directory for Week St Mary ( on Genuki)

The 2 year old William above may have married Gwendoline Pearse in 1938.

Really need Yvonne to come back with some more information.
