	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.

	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.
