A terrific fighter in an era where competition was tough. You've probably already seen it but his record is here: www.boxinghistory.org.uk/records/34339-Tommy-Marren-Burnley.pdfDid your great uncle pass on any stories about his boxing career that you could share? Would be great to see a photo of the belt if you have one that you could post up here.
