my grans half brother always said he didnt know his father name and when his mum died when he was 3 he went with his 3 half sisters into care and after a while they were split up. Can remember visiting uncle Maurice (not even his name lol) and Auntie Alice with his garden he loved running up the back of the house quite a way. Well mum has just got his birth cert and his father is on there now I want to know all about him and know if mums got any more half uncles/aunts etc. and why if he took the trouble to be their for the resgistration even though he didnt have his surname why didnt he bother when my gt gran died looking after him. sighhhhhhhhhhhhh think I am going to be in for some heartache on this one.

have you found him on 1901?

David mums mum died before mum got married and one of her sisters disappeared so I only knew the other full sister and her half brother and always liked visiting them so would be nice to know more but think it will be a sad tale like them all going into a home when we have now found relatives in the same town that surely could of taken them in.

Penny no dont know who his parents were and none with his name in St Albans but then uncle was born in 1921 so he would of only been a child and wherever his parents were. Now why didnt he marry mums gran that would of at lest helped me a bit lol

Sam am like a dog with a bone suppose its because its a different name to search so has given me fresh imputuse

Good luck with your hunt Dawn xx Hope its not a too pain journey S x

PENNY am how am I supposed to wait that long lol

Hopefully he'll be in 1911

Dawn Relatives may not have taken them in because they themselves were overcrowded, or were strained to the limit financially. Also - relatives always have a spouse, who might not be quite so keen to take on someone else's children. Sad but true. OC

Isn't it being released early 2009 that's only 2 years to wait? :-)))

OC is so sad though but at least they all kept in touch apart from the sister who disappeared which meant I at least grew up knowing two of them even if I never knew my gran.

Penny thats about 730 days lol Ill have so much grey hair by then

Karen am fed up of the same old names and not getting anywhere further so hoping this will give me some more energy to find something . d x
