It's a long and complicated story but I'll try to keep it brief.
It appears that John went to Iceland and had a child there with a Puríður Sigurjónsdóttir in 1941, they were not married and he deserted her. He was arrested in 1942 for refusing to join up, he was taken to a ship and sent to Main and spent two years in prison. This is when the trail goes cold apart from a few news clippings that don't help that much. Apparently he became a band leader going by the name Jack Quinet. It is aid in one clipping that he eloped to Gretna Green to marry but I have not found any evidence of that, also that he was once a police man. He died in Paddington, London living at Inglewood Road, the informant was Norah Ethel Watson Parker., got no idea who she was, no trace of her online. Trying to find his movements between 1944 and 1974 also any possible marriage or children.
