Reggie thanks for the replies. things have developed somewhat since i last posted. I have discovered his marriage his first daughter and son, his second marriage and his next 2 daughters and son and all the history and places of events match into the stories i have been told since i found that i was adopted. There are too many matches for this man not to my biological father the facts speak for themselves m8...........hopefully when my contact mails have been answered then i will post more good news.....thanks again John ;-)

Have you made any attempt to find his birth?

Where did you get the 'info' about the when and where? I ask because I can't see one matching the details you've given

Nor is there a marriage in North Yorkshire between 1920 and 1977

Have you put this man's details in search trees to see whether any other GR member is researching him?

That is the first place to go to find any possible contacts

BTW - was the marriage you mention to your mother?


Edited:

Scrub the idea of search trees - it'll be no use until you have accurate birth info

On your other post (please delete it, to comply with site rules) you say you are looking for his children - your half-siblings.

Maybe there aren't any..............

And unless they were legitimate, you couldn't trace them, anyway

Buying his marriage cert would be the obvious first step

Is your biological father named on your birth certificate?

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Lived and grow up in folkstone area married briefly in Northallerton in yorkshire in the early to mid 60,s, worked for a short time in the late 60,s in Northern Ireland. any advice or tips from you smarter users would be gratefully excepted thank you, john
