Hello from the UK

Can someone give me some advice, please?

I am trying to find out more information about my Uncle (my father's
brother) and would welcome any advice and suggestions on how I might go
about it, please, as genealogy records in the USA are obviously very
different from those here in the UK. This is what I know about my Uncle
so far:

William Henry PAGE born 7 February 1907 at Lewes, Sussex, England.
Emigrated to the USA in the late 1920s/early 1930s believed on the RMS
Berengaria from Southampton. Went to live in the West Allis area of
Wisconsin and attended college there.

Then (believed in the 1930s) went to live in West Palm Beach, Florida
with his Uncle (Stanley Thomas GOLLOP born 29 January 1883 in London,
England, emigrated to the USA about 1905 and died 6 June 1962 in West Palm
Beach).

My mother's Address Book has two West Palm Beach addresses for them, and
an enquiry with the WPB Library reveals that in 1960 and 1961 William
Henry PAGE is listed in the Directory at 407 26th Street, WPB. He is also
listed in the 1962 and 1963 Directories at 705 35th Street, WPB with
Stanley GOLLOP. Between 1962 and 1969 he is listed on his own at 705 35th
Street, WPB and in 1970 is listed at the same address with a Hellen E.
PAGE.

William Henry PAGE married (for the first and only time) Hellen E. ...?
on 23 December 1968 at West Palm Beach. In the early 1970s they moved to
720 Bryson Branch, Bryson City, NC 28713, where he died in March/April
1985. They did not have any children (too old!), and I would like to get
in touch with the descendants of his wife Hellen, if this is possible.

I would like to gather any information about him (and about his Uncle (my
Great Uncle) Stanley Thomas GOLLOP, in particular the marriage and deaths
from copies of certificates if this is possible, and details of his
naturalization in the USA. Also, an Obituary of his death in a local
newspaper in Bryson City if this is possible.

In return, I have the 1881 Census on CD for the whole of the UK, the
1851Census for most of East Sussex and the 2002 Voters List for the whole
of the UK on CD if anyone is looking for a living person in the UK, and am
willing to do look-ups for anyone on the List.

Thanks for any help.
