Hi trying to find anybody who knew Alfred he used to live in Norah Street in Salford in the late 1950s moved to Alderley Street in Hulme. around the early 1960s he used to sing in clubs and pubs under the name Alan Miles his agent I believe was a Mrs Croft. I think he came from Coventry to Manchester and was possibly born in Cardiff I think he worked at Rubber Regeneration inTrafford Park. Any info would be much appreciated . Cheers JOHN. C.

It's highly unlikely that anyone who knew him will just happen to find this thread, unless Googling his name for some reason.

Maybe him in Coventry in 1939 ??
One of several lodgers with the Ward family.

If that's him showing in 1939, then he must be deceased, though I can't see his death anywhere.

(If he wasn't deceased he'd be 105 this year.)

Grant, it's not a good idea to have your email address spelled out in your board name.

There were two possible Miles/Noone children born in Coventry -

Joan L, 1947
Marie B, 1951.

Joan may have married in Coventry in 1967, and had two children in 1968 and 1971.
The 1968 child seems to still be living in Coventry, per 2019 ER..

Marie married in Coventry in 1974, and had a daughter in 1980
