I have uncovered a number of theatrical (etc) connections.
In particular I am trying to find info relating to Jack Greaves - he was an actor/singer/songwriter who was quite well known on the northern circuit after the war. He later appeared in early episodes of Coronation Street as an actor and wrote a song about the Soap for Max Bygraves (I have a vinyl copy). I am not sure but I believe his real name was John Colthard GRIEVE. He was married to Veronica Friend(/Kelshaw/Delaney), with whom he had an affair before they married. I have contacted Granada TV but they were not particularly helpful.
