How to co-relate data from multiple sourcetypes?

I have data in three source types to co-relate. Time and a unique identifier number are common for all three sourcetype data.

Sample data from the first sourcetype:

_time         unique_number Name
12/9/2019 9:49  4782     John
12/9/2019 9:52  698   Andrew
12/9/2019 9:56  2487     Marshal

I need to check whether John is having a unique number 4782 in the rest of the two tables within the last 20 minutes of 1st sourcetype data time aka John's time (i.e.: 12/9/2019 9:49).
If any match found, need to return a comment(matched/not matched) to main search (i.e.: table _time,unique_number,Name,comment.
I tried sub search with join but definitely missing some points and not getting the desired output.

| eventstats range(_time) as time_check

Hi, @ahmadshakir1952
I don't understand subsearch well, but I think we can create a query if you provide us with the conditions.
