[Roddy:] Went to sea with Merchant Navy as a steward. On his return, joined the police force (during a strike when they were taking anyone). Later, worked for the electricity board emptying meters. During WWII, worked in the English Electricity factory. After war, opened (or re-opened?) "Liptrot's Detective Agency". Then worked as a doorman at a club, an unfortunate occupation for an alcoholic.
[Tony:] "By this time [abt 1928] my father had left the police force and was working on a steward on Ocean liners."
"About 1931 my father had finished with life at sea and had opened his own office and business in the centre of Liverpool. He traded as Liptrot's Detective Agency. After a few years the business went from strength to strength and he had a car and driver (he couldn't drive) and four other employees."
[Olga and Roddy] Thought to have lived in Bulwer Street, off Breck Road. 4-5 bedroom house with two downstairs parlours.
He served in the Liverpool Regiment in WW1, as a private (regimental number 1771), and later as a corporal (regimental number 330213). Source: Ancestry.com.
