Dawn,

Not sure of the circumstances here. Is it likely they were adopted? Should we be looking for them under their birth names or not?

Hi. No they were not adopted, my father was married to their mother. I was born out of wed lock. I,ve found them whilst looking for info on him, because I want to visit his grave. (which I haven't found!). I have their year and place of birth. Nigel B Morris, 1959. Kevin D Morris 1962, Tina M Morris 1967 all in Bristol. Would love ant info on them, my dad and his parents. Many thanks.

He also married again the year he died. Was this to your mother?

His mother's maiden name was Lowe. Have you looked on FreeBMD for possible siblings?

Looks like his brother could be living in Ludlow and is listed in the phone book.

Not my mother, his second wife, same first name as my mum. Will try the phone book, however, it was not my intention to contact anyone that way. Thanks to all who have helped. Dawn

Thanks for all your help. I now have a clearer picture of my fathers family. Whilst it's been interesting to find records, it's also slightly overwhelming. I started looking for dads grave to visit and got caught up with the thrill of finding 'lost' family.
I'm going to take a step back to consider. These are real people and whilst they, like me may have had a vague ideal about each other, contact may not be welcomed. So thanks to all. I,ve put out 2 tree requests, if any other info comes to light it will be welcomed. Thanks Dawn.
