Try Friendsreunited

BUT......you need to get accurate birth info, or you could contact the wrong person

Just adding to my comments above, I got some info wrong...Alan had an older brother who lived on the Sholver estate in Oldham in 1970...Alan is approx 62 now.

If he's not a friend, what is your connection......why are you looking for him?

You are very vague about him...........

And I think you have entirely the wrong idea about why I advised looking at Friendsreunited..............

I am very vague , because it is personal....not for me but the the person I am looking to find...this is genes reunited, so that should kind of tell you why I am looking...I am only asking for help`in a delicate way as possible.
Someone has already responded in a message with some useful info that I can to find

I have only got the year of birth approximately, thats why it has been listed like this...If I had the info it would be easy.....I could pay someone hundreds to try to find him, but I thought this site would help... I am sorry if I have the wrong concept of genes re united.

There is a possible Lancashire birth registered in 1950. Do you know Mother's maiden name?

Thank you Perchino for you help, which I do appreciate, but do not know at the moment, besides this site I really am trying to find more information, not sure on many more details, apart from the details on 4th Jan, I was really hoping someone from the same area could remember...I have used another site too, but I am trying to be very careful what I can say...

I am really sorry that it is vague but I only have the same info I have put...I am gleaning a little bit more info and will update as soon as I can..

Thank you all again for any constructive help...

Please do read the reply I posted.......

............and re-read your own

"Thanks, its not really a friend "

.............which to me meant that you thought Friendsreunited was ONLY for friends, whereas the reality is that if you look there for someone's name and see it, you don't have to be a 'friend' to make contact.

BUT...........in this case, you should be very careful about making any moves to get in touch............

I think you would be well advised to approach the official agencies and try to make contact through them....................they have the expertise to guide you

I wish you luck............
