I would start by searching for him using the tree search on this site - see if anyone else has him on their tree

Maybe a local paper would put a note in a letters column or similar.

To be neighbours and know the family 40 plus years ago would be a long shot but a check of electoral lists for then and now might show people who haven't moved away.

Do you think they would print one for me?

I'd be more inclined to write a letter to the local paper.

My Great Grandfather left my Grandfather and his siblings when they were very young and he was never seen again! I am researching and have found out alot about him! His name was Sydney Seager and he died in Hendon, London in 1957. I am curious to know about him, what he looked like etc! I think there must be someone alive now who knew him as he didn't die till 1957! I'm not sure how to go about finding anyone though! I know his last address and this was where he died, and also where his second wife lived until 1960! Is it worth writing to the addresses in that street on the off chance that someone still lives there who did when he was alive, or is it an extreme long shot? Any other ideas who i can find out more about him!

Thanks
Hayley
