Thanks both for the suggestions, I am begining to think it is a T not J.
Looking again at death cert Benjamin died Bridgewater hospital Eccles.
Date of death 30th May 1953
Residence 72 Clarendon road Swinton and Pendlebury.
Informant J ( surname) residence 72 Clarendon road Swinton.
This address means nothing, my brother tells me our great grandfather Benjamin met him when he was a few weeks ( born Febuary 1953) old on Thorn road Swinton which is where his son Terence lived. We lived in a nearby road and my brother was in a pram. Some say he was not speaking to family near the end, however as he was on the road where his son lived a few months before he died I wonder. Also odd the house number for the informant is 72 same as my grandfathers house.
Possibly they did fall out Benjamin moved into lodgings returned to the area on hearing of a grandson being born, and the registrar simply copied deseased address into informants.
All smoke and mirrors but thats family history, will carry on, great help and thoughts as always
Cheers
Monica Meg
