Dear Eunice, I pasted and copied this information from Pro-online. You may want to email the Pro-online or fax (number below) The Kew Public Record Office about the alien registry that they have in the map room. See what they have to say. The alien registry are in very old, large books, several of them. I happen to find my husband's ancester in the first book I was looking in. They may send you a list of names of people that may be willing to research this for you for a fee or they may suggest something else.
