There's no sales history for the 2012 address.
Bernard's probably a tenant, but may still be there, if he has opted out of the public Electoral Roll.

No children born to Probin with second wife's name at marriage - unless she was divorced or widowed, of course, in which case MMN would be different.

There are two marriages for a Bernard G Probin , in Liverpool - 1960 (Harris) and 1980 (Arnold). Not necesarily both the same person.

The 1960 wife died in 2007.
That couple had one son, born in 1961.

No children from the second marriage.

The only birth of a Bernard Probyn anywhere near 1940 was in West Ham in 1935 - but his father was William.

There's no marriage of a Joseph Probyn in Lancashire/Cheshire 1920-45.

So it doesn't look as if the Probyns belonged to Liverpool.

Can you remember anything more about them?
Perhaps Joseph's wife's name?

Were Joe and your father living in Liverpool at the time of the photo?

I am now in my 80's and sorting through family photographs. Have found some 'snaps' of my late father Thomas Forrest and his best friend Joe (Joseph) Probyn taken on a camping holiday in the Isle of Man. This was probably in the late 1920's early 1930's. Joe and my father worked together at Mousells' Furniture Removers in Liverpool up until the 1950's/1960's. I do know that Joe had a son called Bernard who was probably the same age as me I was born in 1940.

If there are members of Joe's family who would like to have these photos, then I would be more than happy to post them.
