Hi Maureen,
I seem to remember a Ralston gentleman helping me a little while ago when I was looking for my Scully Relatives. I'm not too sure now about his first name but he was a regular poster on the Liverpool Echo site. http://icliverpool.icnetwork.co.uk/expats/oldpals/
I hope this helps.
Kind regards.
Tracey.

Hi again Maureen,
Yes he used the name Ralston & he posted on the site a fair bit but it may have been about 18 months ago when he contacted me. I haven't looked on the Liverpool Echo site for a while since it changed format & I know a few people stopped using it when this happened. Maybe if you post your message on that site someone may recognise him or he may still be looking in.
Sorry I couldn't be more help, good luck & kind regards,
Tracey.

A message to Maureeng. My dad is the Alan Ralston you have been looking for. I came across this looking for photos of him. Did you ever manage to find him?

Hi David, I remember him being in the ATC. Shame you failed the exam, hope everything worked out for you anyway. My friend Mary McDowall lives in Benedict Street, do you know her? :) :)
