Hi there,

I'm looking for my half brother, Daniel. He is most likely in his late 30's and I think he was born around the early 1980s but I'm not sure exactly when. His biological father is Graham Bennett (b.1963) and his mother is Pamela, not sure of the surname. I know he was given my father's name but he may have changed his name legally to his mother's, as my father lost contact with him when he was around 15. I think his mother is of Indian descent, although I can't be certain of this either!

All I know is he lived in East London until he was at least about 15 years old, he was born and raised there but I can't find any records of him.

Let me know if you can help me!

Lydia, what part of East London? that would help narrow it down.

Welcome to the boards, Lydia -

Just a suggestion, because you think his mother may have been of Indian descent -

a Daniel Lawrence Bennett was born in Hillingdon, London in 1985 - mother's surname Patel.

Have sent details by PM in case you feel it's worth buying a copy of the birth cert to check father's name. Look out for an email from GR.

I know Hillingdon's not east London.

I don't see a Bennett / Patel marriage.

ADDED:
On the other hand, I don't see the birth of a Pamela Patel either!
But maybe Pamela wasn't her official name at her birth registration.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
