Family connections can be found by researching his birth etc.

Have you looked for info using freebmd?

You may have problems........if this is the birth


Births Sep 1928 (>99%)
Cannings Maurice Cannings Shepton M. 5c 520

The birth cert would at least tell you his mother's first name, and the address may help
