Born before 1950?

By performing some unorthodox queries, my usual way of finding the right person. "The Clitheroe Kid" was one of the candidates that popped up in the crosshairs somewhat earlier, but at that moment I was not yet sure that it was him.

Proceeding to the next one: Real person, Male, Alive.

Well done!

Yes, I almost did agree he was an artist but thought it may confuse matters.

How on earth did you get it from those clues?

It may be a matter of debate whether a comedian may be called an artist or not, but I tend to bow down a bit to look at Jimmy Clitheroe.

Neither of those two.

He lived with his mother until her death and never married.

Not got the Wiki page open but don't think he made 60.

Not a croaky voice but not a normal one either.

Not an artist.

Clue: wore a uniform most of the time in his line of work.

Yes, British.  No, after 1959.

Yes.

Clues will be difficult but I'll try my best (there's no clue in this statement -- I'll highlight them).
