BLAIR I am trying to find any information about my father Joseph All I know is that he was born c1925 in Northern Ireland and died in a motorcycle accident in 1961. He was married to Sarah Mussen and they had 8 children. The oldest child (also called Joseph) died as a infant. I believe that Joseph served in the RE during WW2. He had a brother called John, last known to be living in Scotland. I believe John had twins. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated as I have asked all surviving maternal family members about him but to no avail. As it stands my father is a mystery to me.

Not sure what you mean about your father being a mystery, you seem to know a fair bit about him already! You could get his birth certificate: Civil records for Northern Ireland from 1922 are kept by the Registrar General of Northern Ireland at Oxford House, 49-55 Chichester Street, Belfast BT1 4HL (0232 235221), www.nisra.gov.uk/gro. nell

As my father died when I was 8 I don't remember much. He is a mystery to me in that I don't know where he was born or who his parents were
