To find children, look at freebmd or GRO site

When and where did he marry?

Have you looked for wife’s death?

ALSO..where was he BORN?

I don’t have access but I think you were previously advised to use the freebmd site. This should give you the wife’s name and with any luck , the chance of finding some children.
The 1921 won’t tell you if there were children if the were away from home.
