It would help if you could expound on your source for "shown to occupy
premises in Bethnal Green". Eg in 1921 Bethnal Green was still a
distinct registration district so if that is what you meant then it
covered a pretty big area[1] and not just what today might be seen as
Bethnal Green. If you don't have an address you could try one of the
sites which try to index the area. Eg you clould search for him and/or
his professed occupation at http://london1912.co.uk/index.shtml You'll
find a fair few electrical engineers around the area as it was a big
manufacturing area so a lot of call for lighting installations, power
etc. You could of course also care to try one of the UK FH groups.


soc.genealogy.britain would be my suggestion.
It's a bit like the uk.d-i-y of genealogy.
