Any Memories of Bill Black?

There was music shop on the Thornton Road in the mid 1950s, run by a Ada Lilian Rose who lived there with her three children. It's a bit of a long shot but I'm actually trying to trace someone called William or Bill Black who was a trombone player in The Billy Cotton band, who we think lived in the area and visited the shop around this time. I also know that he worked as a motor mechanic, possibly locally; was married and had a son around 8 years old.

If anyone has memories of any of this information, I would be very grateful if you could let me know. Thank you.
