thank you very much for that info , but i live a long way from sunderland , is there anyother way i could find info on them as in first names where born etc

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

thank so much for the info i think benard was born around 1924 so maybe the one you found 1923 is the closest , he had a brother also that i know of

Did Bernard marry?

[oldhippyone]

yes bernard did marry a girl called doris in about 1954ish 55ish or around that time

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.
