Jack, Sheba is on the money with the country, but just has the wrong person. Keep going both of you, and I'm sure one of you will find him. A relative of his had a name change (as many royalty do at times) so that may help you to locate him.

Another two clues - his ancestors were commoners and a relative who had undergone the name change became very well known in both the First and Second World Wars.
