Searching for Roy Croft (now in early 80s)

[tray]

Hello. My elderly father grew up on Zenoria Street, Dulwich and as a child had a best friend called Roy Croft. He's keen to try and find him and would love to hear how he is doing or hear from his family. Roy would be in his early 80s now. I know very little apart from that but hoping someone in the area may know of the family or may have elderly relatives who can help? Literally any clues or ideas of where we can extend the search would be amazing. Many thanks, Tori

During what years?

There's a Roy Croft living in Rotherhithe who might fit the bill - try 192.com, it really only works if you pay but only a couple of quid. Hope your dad finds his mate, let us know if he does!

Hi - just managed to dig out some more information! I think it was 1940 onwards (not sure until when). Roy had a younger brother, Brian, and I think their father's name was Leslie, his mother was possibly Lilian??

Apparently the Croft family might have been lived on Avondale Rise in Peckham, with my father being on parallel Danby Street before they both moved to other addresses. Leslie and later Roy worked for the London Press Exchange [an advertising agency] and were both Account Executives.
