Tracing people is my other life, i have been doing genealogy for years...if any one wants any old phone directory look ups or a rellie look up give us a shout.
It would appear that the chap concerned was not born in this country, the birth year and death that I gave MIGHT be for him, I have searched a few years either side of the birth year sumized from the death registration in Sussex in 1972 and no one of that name was registered as being born around that time in the UK (c 1892) that would fit the bill, this would re enforce the fact that articles suggest he was a foriegn born (Russia possibly) I have searched official port immigration records for the late 1890's early 1900's plenty of Russians but little in the way of full names or occupations that might give a clue.
If he was foriegn and did change his name/naturalize etc it should be in the National Archives, only early naturalization records are on line there at the moment, mainly related to the time of the last big Huguenot influx. If someone really wanted to research him the death certificate could be obtained for the Ralph Judson death I have mentioned there should be some info on it that would say yey or nay. then it could be taken from there. Ralph Stranger (stranger is another word for foriegner) Judson = son of George, or the Russian equvilent of George? just sumizing hear. He could of course come in through the back door but I would say he came from an educated family.
I found a snippet on the web that suggests he was not well in 1968, also a Ralph Judson was involved in the dissolution of partnership of an electrical (I think) contractors in London around the WW1 period (London Gazette) No record of any marriage in the UK. (doesn't mean he wasn't married)
