Lived in Bradford. Had a radio shop (1940/50s) Son Jack. Possibly mother's name was Mary Ann (known as Nellie) nee Slinn. She was born in Sheffield (1884/6) Not sure if surname (Aldred) is correct spelling.

Hi Christine -- if you tell us Jack & Nellie *Who*, you might have better luck!

We know -- you thought the surname was on your post. Where you're looking at it, it is. Where the general public here is looking at it, it isn't. ;)

If you read this thread:

it will all be a little clearer!

Also, give some ages/dates, which might jog someone's memory or help you get ideas of how you might track them down. As it stands, they could have had that radio shop anytime in the last several decades. Any more definite idea of where it was? That might help too, to bring it to mind for someone local (not me).

Here ya go -- might help a wee bit.
