Bob,
You were right the first time! Nodge was indeed John Mason. I used to play snooker with him at the Central Billiard hall underneath the “Bug Hut”.
I also got confirmation on this from my Brother and Sister in law. My Sister in law lived at the bottom of Water St. Her maiden name was Margaret Eaton. John Mason attended their wedding as a family friend and I have a group photo where he is on it, which I sent to her the other day.

Cheers

Les informs me that John & Roy were brothers, John (Noj or Nojet) being the elder. They lived in Lodge St Both now in their 70s if alive/
