I think you may struggle with that. You might get first names from the electoral roll. A quick check for the birth of Bernard Green b 1920 on wards in county Durham shows 2 entries
Dec Q 1921 mothers maiden name Horshaw South Shields
Dec Q 1923 mothers maiden name Garbutt  Hartlepool

This may be a bit of a long shot but there is a marriage for a Bernard Green & Rachel Garbutt in Hartlepool in Mar Q 1916. The only way to know for sure is to get your Bernard's marriage certificate which should give his fathers name & occupation.

A Bernard Green married a Doris S Smith in Sep Q 1953 in Newcastle T. GRO 1b 108.

Gary

Added:   I have a strong fancy that his father will be Bernard as well. I searched for the marriage that I gave in my previous reply and both marriages were for a Bernard Green and both had children called Bernard, whats the odds on that happening so close together.

That's odd my grandfather also had a greengrocers in Sunderland, around Chester Road area about war years(II) but I know very little about it. Name was Dickinson. I wonder if it was the same shop later on?

 I can't find him in the phone book or trade directories as a greengrocer. There is an Ernest Dickinson selling posters & cards in south shields.

Thanks, it may have been under a different trade name. No problem wasn't really looking for info just thought oldhippyone may have been interested but clearly not.
