I am looking for my birth dad i know very little information about him so unsure if this is going to work. I was born in march 1985 and him and my mum had been together for roughly 9 years and split just after my first birthday. My mum is Margaret Burns and we lived in denistoun when was with my dad i know he had a daughter older than myself and a brother who had a daughter also. As far as i am aware he was a bus driver. I would appreciate any information that someone may have thank u laura x

Hi Laura.

First thing first! You need to say where 'denistoun' is - do you mean Dennistoun Glasgow maybe?

If so, I suggest you put it in your heading.

Do you know anything else at all? No need to put on here, but if you can find out names of parents/siblings, or an address for him, it all helps.

You do have one thing going for you, and that is his name. It isn't ridiculously common, like John Smith or something!

You might try the sites below, just to check out any George Hays in the relevant area.:

There is a record on the voters roll 2007 of a Douglas,Michelle, and Annie Hay living in the Glasgow Area.

You stated that you thought that George's brother's name was Douglas and he had a daughter called Michelle.

They may not now be listed on the Public Version of the Voter's Roll.

Laura, Have you tried writing to the address for Douglas? if not you might consider doing so, in case they are still there.

I'm sending a PM with a possible for Michelle, but would advise you have a look at Scotland's people website to try and pin down George's birth/marriage and the same for Douglas and Michelle.

I would echo Rambling Rose view that it may be worth trying to pursue your search through Douglas Hay if you are sure that your information is correct.

I am sending a PM direct with information which may be of use to you in your search.
