Have you tried contacting the relevant corporation to establish if they have any records for that period? 

I note he was b 1919 & died 1970 so suspect it's unlikely anything would be available unless he married and his widow was receiving a pension from the Corporation

No I haven't.  Yes he left a widow.  How would I go about getting in touch with the corporation.

His wife died in 1984.  The dates involved were pre-computer so records would have been manual

His only child was b 1943 & died 2004
