Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

I am looking for any information relating to my dad Harry Traynor (died April 2013) who worked at Dunlop's of Rice Lane, Liverpool in the 1940s after the war. He was a merchant seaman until about 1946. He married Agnes Murphy in 1945 and at that time they lived in the Anfield area.

Does anyone know how I can trace employee records or does anyone know of other people who worked there at that time?

Many thanks for your time and help.

Hi Kevin, welcome to the forum.

Your subject heading interested me as I worked in Dunlops in the early 1970's, I don't suppose the place was much changed in the years in between.

I have no idea whether the employee records would have been deposited with the Liverpool Record Office, I suggest that you make an enquiry direct http://liverpool.gov.uk/libraries/archi ... y-history/ however, it might be that what used to be the Head Office in Birmingham may have archived the records, I'm assuming that the "Contact" form from this page http://www.dunlopfootwear.co.uk/ would go there and you could try them.

Good luck

Hello Mary and thanks for your input. The library doesn't have any Dunlop archives to help me. I will keep searching though.

I suspect it is a bit recent for them to have been lodged there. I would think your only recourse is to apply to the company itself.
