(Free French) pilot Robert J Henaux + 16.08.1941

Hi all, I am currently researching the loss of Hurricane W9193 piloted by 21 year old Free French pilot Robert J Henaux. I am trying to find his burial location and have been told that Robert's death was registered in Kettering, Northants. Does anyone have any idea on how I can track down his grave? If anyone has any further information to add then please feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,

Melvin

Chris,
I may have been wrong but I've HÉNAUX on Hurricane V6935.
On W9193 I've F/Sgt Maurice F. MILLS - 590608. Lost control flying in cloud and crashed near Harrington.
What is correct ?
Regards and thanks,
Henk.

According to the ORB it was Henaux in W9193 and Mills in V6935.
