Title: KELLY'S Manchester Directory. 1945 - 1970 44 Norway St, Stretford
Post by: OzzieJoan on Monday 19 April 21 07:01 BST (UK)

 :D Thanks for your time.
I think this address held Richard Joseph (or Joseph Richard) Toner and family from 1950 onwards. I would like to know if his occupation is listed as anything similar to Telephone Engineer, please.

Also if he can be found in earlier editions.

Thank you
Joan

There is probate for Joseph Richard Toner online living at this address, at his death in 1974. Couldn't find anything about his occupation.
Regards.

Thanks, I have probate and Will but no occupation. Sadly this is the only way I can think of to winkle out my man. I was hoping Kelly's had a section for trades.
Thanks again you help is very much appreciated.

The death certificate might give his occupation.
His marriage certificate should do - 1950.
There were likely births in 1950s of children to the couple but we can’t post the names as they might still be living.
