Welcome to the boards, Barry.

Can you tell us their names?

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Welcome to the boards. Not sure what you expect.

Check out the Search/ all members trees to see if anyone has that family in their tree.
Use www.freebmd.org.uk.to see if they died within the time available or children got married. Check old Electoral Rolls to see when they left the property.
Check announcements in local newspapers.

As they were relatives of your father, you should at least know their names and birth years, which make a starting point for you to do some research.

If you are unsure of how to research, post names and birth years and we'll try to help.

Unlikely that anyone on here will have any idea about them, unless you can find their names in ‘search all member trees’

The property isn't recorded by Zoopla as having been sold since Zoopla came into being in 2007, but, of course, that's still 40 years later than the era in question
