Puinot/Purnot/Wentworth

I'm looking for any help regarding Florent Leon Puinot (Purnot in some documents-likely transcription error). He married Dorothy Harrison in 1943 when they were living in the Crookes area. Other than this I have little to go on. He changed his name to Anthony Peter Wentworth around 1946-48 but nobody knows why. There is some suggestion that he was originally from London but nothing confirmed. Any help gratefully received

Thank you 

I already have this info but I am stuck once I get to his parents and tracing back further. I strongly suspect I need to look abroad but don't have the facility to do that currently. I suppose I was hoping someone local might have known him enough to supply a few clues, like why he changed his name for instance
