I think Stephen meant did those of us helping have access to records after 1985, yes, at Ancestry, that's where Sarah's birth is :-)

Sarah there is a birth for his name in each of Hartlepool and Sunderland in 1968, is this reliable information that you have from a source who should know ?

there could be siblings for the one in Hartlepool ... unfortunately the mother's name for the one in Sunderland is common and more than one couple with those names seems to have had children there around the same time

you have now put Hartlepool in your tree and one other person also has that Michael in their tree ... several people have the Michael born in Sunderland in their trees ... have you done that search ?

in fact the other person who has the Michael from Hartlepool could be that Michael himself ..........

i am currently in the process of finding that info out, as i dont have a full birth certificate, all my sisters have one but I dont

chrissiex

there is only one birth in the index that matches Sarah and her parents' surnames so probably she doesn't need to put that personal info here ( as was advised against early in the thread )

Sarah it would help though if you can give any other info that is on your birth certificate like if Michael had a middle name and if it says his occupation

( occupation probably would not help a lot but it is best to have all information rather than not have it )

Sorry to say this, Sarah, but if your mother can't - or won't - give you accurate info the man she says is your father, you will probably never be able to find him.

Have you seen your birth certificate?

sarah

My mother never married my father, so there will be no record, can only find my grandmothers Marriage records which is no good

chrissiex

chrissiex Report 30 Aug 2011 21:33

I think unfortunately there is no marriage certificate ... Sarah does your birth certificate say anything about him, a middle name possibly, his occupation ?

I am afraid that without help from your mother ( although she may not know things like his parents' names) this will be very difficult for you ... best of luck

You need to start by getting your parents' marriage certificate.
Do you know when they married, and area of the country?

sarah

sarah Report 30 Aug 2011 21:24

its jeffrey... there is no point in asking my mother about my father as things dont add up and its very confusing, so my last hope is here, just looking for a glimmer of hope... father is between 40-50 at a guess...

patchem

patchem Report 30 Aug 2011 20:10

Have you got your parents' marriage certificate for information about your Father?
Have you asked your Mother about your Father's age?
Is your Mother's name Jefferey or Jeffrey?

Unless you know when and where he was born, it will be virtually impossible to search for him

You really MUST delete your full birth details.......you are giving an open invitation to identity thieves.............
