I don't want to cover ground you've already done, but it looks to me as though his father was this smart chap..Albert Tom Biney He was a merchant seaman in the last 7 months of WW1 ...his 1919 papers say he was born 26th August 1893 in Saltpond West Africa (now Ghana) and was married to Theresa. Theresa's address is given as 10 Portmarnock Golf Links, Dublin. They had been married in Barrow in Furness in 1917. On further research I think he was previously private 49300 A T Biney, a soldier during WW1 in the 5th Battalion Worcestershire Regt, he had been discharged in early 1918 as being unfit for further war service. Edit...having researched further there is a tree by Steven Biney on Ancestry that probably tells everything.
