Hello Myrtle,

If you click on this link, it will take you to the Crockford's Clerical Directory site. If you put his name in, you will get some information but you will have to pay to view anything extra. If you want to put his name and details on this thread, someone may be able to help you.

Local directories might help. If he was a cleric in the early years of the 20thc, he may well be found on www.historicaldirectories.org but the database ends around WW1 at present. Later directories are usually available in local libraries, who may (and I stress "may" in the present economic climate) look for you.

Ancestry not only has some Crockford's directories but also telephone directories, so I'm sure someone could find him for you if given a name.
