Sidney Patterson - Bedwellty/Cardiff 1930s

[beansoup]

My mother (born 1928) believes that her father was a butcher in Bedwellty and/or Cardiff - he left my grandmother in the 1930s, ostensibly to return to Australia - I certainly can't find any evidence of him having died in the UK.  Does anyone know where I'd find information re: tradesmen such as butchers in 1930s Bedwellty/Cardiff?

Thanks.

Hi Jen

Thanks for the info - I will give that a go.

No way he can still be alive, though, as he was born in 1883!
