Andrew Behan has advised us that telephone directories from 1958 to 1970 show him listed at 24a Bassett Road, London, W10 and from 1972 at 31 Linden Road, London NW10 5RE. The latter address is confirmed as he is also shown here on electoral registers from 2003 to 2010.
He died, aged 91 years on 18 August 2015.
