Hello and welcome,
If you can give us the details, name and year should be enough it may be possible to find him without a visit to Kew.

Slizzy thanks for cross referencing
and Hazelnut I am afraid It's not umtali as umtali khan was born in 1913 aboard umtali (ship)
but my grandpa was born in 1912 aboard "Angora"
Thanks to everyone for their response
