Does anyone know of any sites that will give me a list of ordained clery form about 1945 to about 1960.

Thanks in anticipation

According to the National Archives website, there are no records of clergy available online.

If you Google there are lots of suggestions of places you could contact for info.

I cannot remember who my Father was looking for, or why, but he went to one of the local vicars for help. My Father is not a church goer, but the information was found. This was in the days before the internet.
So you could always try the personal approach.
