On second thoughts, the information is too thin so the marriage cert will have to be ordered to give his age at marriage and his father’s name.

Later: The marriage cert has arrived and show his father to be John Ravenhill Prescott, a Captain in Sherwood Foresters.
Reginald was 29 so was born around 1899 and was an Engineer.
