Thanks for quick response. I've no idea where he actually lived (Devon OR Cornwall) in the 50's but know he frequented areas around Plymouth such as Tavistock and Bere Alston. I have also been told he worked at a photographers in Looe so on other sites I have tried to keep my location/area wider by referring to both County locations.... Not had any results. I've tried BT and Electoral Roll option in the past but not tracked the right person down, although I believe he has now passed away.
I wasn't aware of this forum till today but now hoping that one response so quickly bodes well for more in the future.
