Not being much help am I !! Have you tried searching for his name on this site and contacting people with that name about the right age in their trees, could take a LONG time but worth it if it works, hope his 1st name isn't John!!

Did his occupation have some sort of trade organisation or was it something like a teacher where you have to be registered this might help as he may still have the same job
