If Corin goes to Friends Reunited and enters the address in Truro, there may be a neighbour listed who could help,
Good luck,
Liz

Corin has an address for his paternal grandparents in Truro in the 1970's.

He has not mentioned if he has tried to follow this through to find out who

they were,.............. parents of the 1935 David Thomas Hill or the 1939

David Hill?

If you check Corin's first post, you will see that he mentions two possible births

The 1939 fits with his idea that there is an Italian connection

Corin has his own birth cert.........hence the info he gave about his father's name

Corin,

Where and when was your father last seen?

Had an email from Corin saying that his birth certificate lists David as being born in Truro. Not sure how this can be as I've never seen a birth cert that lists the father's birthplace.

Flick,

When I see initials on here, people have usually made assumptions and are then listing them as fact.

It looks to me as though Corin has found this birth because it was in Cornwall and is quoting it as the one.

Can I make a point Corin, as you've found to your cost,it's NEVER ( in my opinion) a good idea to phone out of the blue, if you get the wrong person they think you're a crazy...if you get the right person, you are putting them in an awful position of HAVING to make some response without being fore-warned.

Always write first... that gives people chance to consider, to read over again and think before they respond negatively. :-)

Two days ago I gave Corin the names of siblings for David Hill born 1939

as well as David Thomas Hill born 1935, ( that is his full name on Corin's

birth certificate), with the names and addresses of living relatives to follow

up. .

The time that has been wasted is by those of us who have looked for information which you had already been given......by Peter. I certainly invested a lot of time in the search............

You should not have deleted your first thread, nor asked again without owning up to the fact that you had been supplied with a LOT of info.

Will you please answer the question about whether you have looked on here for possible contacts?

Corin, there are a lot of David t Hills on 192.com , i had a look last night... do you know if he lived and worked in the area where you were born? he might not have moved far away...so might be worth getting credits on 192 and looking at those listed as being over 65..just a chance.

Do you know what his occupation was? would that give any traceable leads?

Stick to this one thread and nudge it when you want to ask for further help. you can always edit the title 'help still needed' or similar rather than start another thread next time . :-)

Hi,

I have given Corin ALL the above information and more on his previous thread ....a time waster?

IF....and only if......the 1939 birth is the correct David, he has two siblings

Details sent by PM, in view of how recent these events are

Flick

Flick Report 30 Jul 2011 09:35

I would think that Corin only knows what his/her mother was able to share..............David didn't marry the mother of his child

Although, as I stated earlier, Corin's birth cert will have at least his full names.

John's death cert will include the name and address of the informant........if that person was related, you could try contacting him/her
