American School Penpals From Salford

My dad had a penpal in Salford during the late 30s or early 40s, named John (or James?) Milner. My dad, an American, lived in a town called Salford; this school adopted Salford in England as a twin city, and my dad's schoolclass wrote to the children of Salford. I'm here for a class until August 5 and wondered if anyone in Salford by that name still lives there. My dad's name is Leon Moyer, and he's kept the letters that his English penpal sent him, all those years ago. Feel free to email me if you have any information.
