Machon's fate... solved?[edit]

Came across this forum post from 2014. The author claims Franz Machon married in the UK in 1951 then died there in 1968. Checked the GRO records, and it appears to be true. "FRANK [notice he changed it] J. MACHON" born c. 1918, died July 1968 in Thanet, Kent. His marriage certificate is also there from 1951. His wife was an Alice Homer. Anyway, there's now a new source here from only the other month. The page talks about a Polish chef in Thanet, Kent called Frank Machon who died in 1968 from a bee sting(!) There is also a photo of him on there. This is our guy. I'm not sure how we go about adding this information. It's original research as there's nothing that explicably links the u-boat sinking with the chef in Kent, other than a forum post. Interested to hear what other users think and how we should proceed with this info, mindful of the fact that we probably won't get any better sources in the future.
