Hello, Tina here (aka Lesley).Thank you to all who are helping. I haven’t been on Genes for years but got a pm. I am a hopeless technophobe! Hopefully John will be in touch again and indeed he is my half brother. In fact there are another 4 half siblings that my father had with a lady before marrying my mum but I have tried over the years to contact them but with no luck. :-)

Sending a PM (private message) as Nameslessone has described is your only hope of contacting Tina, I'm afraid.

You may be lucky, but there's no guarantee of a reply.
If Tina has changed her email address without updating it on GR, she will not receive GR's notification of your message.
There are many other reasons why she may not reply , even if she does receive notification - illness, death, loss of interest in family research, to name but three.

Some people take a long time to reply - months in some cases.

Have you actually tried sending her a pm as I suggested? You may have to wait awhile for a reply.

If anyone can help me contact Tina Ward it would be nice.

John- welcome to the boards.

You have added to an old thread. Luckily Tins still seems to be a member of Genes.

Click on her name and send her a pm and if she has kept her email address she will be notified by Genes.

Genes do not send out notifications if a thread is added to and unless she checks her old threads she won’t spot your post.

Good luck

Names

Hi Tina-We seem to have the same father,I was born 1946.I am on Ancestry-all info concords.

Thank you AustinQ

First marriage was to Ethel.

Looks like a possible son born in late 1946.

--------------------------------

You can see the index to the marriage and name of the son by searching here (using mother's maiden name Barrett):

I was wondering if I might ask for some more help please.
My father Albert Reginald Ward dob 18/03/1927 was married before he met my mother, Eda Di Blasi.
I did a bit or research and found a record of the marriage in 1946 in the district of Eton to someone with the surname Barrett. How can I find anymore information e.g. what her first name was and whether they had any children.
I do know my father had a relationship with a lady after his marriage ended and I believe her surname was Farrier and they had 4 children. I have located a tree with the m on and have messaged the tree owner but so far I have not had a reply but I wait in hope that they will get in touch and we can share trees.

Thank you

Your last post is so lovely, thank you :-) :-)
