Was your father's name Bill? My father remembers a Bill who was traveller for Will Perkins tobacconist. He remembers him well.

This was my Grandfathers business he was Herbert Perkins. His father was George William Hemsley Perkins and it was his father George James Perkins who first started the business in the late 1800s! Herbert passed away in 1966. His son Barry took over the business but it fell into bankruptcy. My father may remember your father if he worked there. I just happened upon this thread whilst doing some research for family tree!
