Percival married in Rangoon and had 1 son. Another Bernese lady also had a son around the same time. No information on the sons Percival refused to accept they existed. The one I thought I could find would be Barry as his parents were married and divorced. The Percival from neath Glamorgan is not a relative I have spoken to them before. Percy was born September 1916 from st Ives Cornwall were he later married my grandmother Beryl . thank you for helping!

You say - "Percival is my grandfather and have not met any of his sons!"

Do you know of other sons - what are their names/ages incase they might lead to Barry

An Ancestry tree shows Percival remarrying in Penzance in 1953 and then he is shown to be in Bronx, New York in 1960 - sighting a School year book with Barry Lake a pupil at Bronx High School of Science

Do you know when Percival was born - there is a death of a Percival Redvers Lake in Neath, Glamorganshire RD in 1984 aged 81 and in Penzance, Cornwall RD 1995 aged 79. Looks as though both died in the areas they were born.

Any clues in his will? You can find the details on the below site and order a copy of the will through them. It may give details?

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk

Only for the 1995 death, not seeing a probate record for the 1984 death

EDIT - the Penzance one I think looking at your surname and working backwards
