well yes but not 100% sure of the spelling of his name hence why the problem finding him, he was also in prison and came out earlier this year and all i know about his sentence is that it was a serious crime, I don't know the length of sentence. As you can see it is easier to find people from 100 years ago then now!! |

Have you any address for him at all, however long ago? I am thinking you could check electoral register if so, in order to get correct spelling of his name. |

all I know is in the Leeds area I can pm you his name as I would rather not put it on here. |

Well, you can do, but apart from very early London electoral registers, you can only search by address not name, and this has to be done in person. |
