	You could look at his medal card on the documentsonline site. It's a common name, though, so there might be more than one! The medal card does not always mention the MM. There may be a mention in the London Gazette, whcih is searchable online.

	Have you tried The London Gazette Archives? You will probably find an article about him. One of my ancestors was awarded the VC and I found the article about him on there.
