Wonder if they were interned and whether he was born in the Isle of Man as that's where most German and Italian nationals living in the UK were forced to relocate to during the World War2 years.
Many of them including my grandfather were smart enough to get themselves GB passports so fortunately were not shipped out to Canada

Unfortunately there were many that didn't and a few of my grandfathers relatives and friends are buried in Bardi after the German U-Boat sunk the SS Arandora Starr that was sending them to interment camps and the doors weren't opened to let them escape - but that's another story. Many of these people including my grandfather fought on the side of GB in the first world war.
