Hi Migky,if you can get to Central Library in Manchester you might be able to trace forward using the Street and Alphabetical sections of their many Trade directories .The electoral roll can be useful too,but only covers Manchester.
I've recently traced a few people forward for a friend from 1901 to 1954
Along with the GRO indexes and Lancs bmd/free bmd you might get quite a lot of info

Try to get there early-9am if poss to guarantee a microfilm reader-you don't have to book.
The trade directories are in filing cabinets at the end of one of the rows,the electoral registers are further down in a filing cabinet in an aisle.
The readers are on the first floor,turn left at top of stairs or right if you're getting the lift,you'll pass the local studies unit-where to go for help,free internet access to family/local history sites,maps etc/
Just find the film you want and follow the instructions on the front of the machine.
You can also look up Parish registers there for Weddings/baptisms etc,they've got books to tell you the number of film to use for which church.
If you are stuck,just ask someone or ask at the desk :)
