Fiona

That was what I was saying.....but the point was missed..........I thought my message was clear, but obviously not sufficiently so for some.

Did you also send the death reg in 2005 Fiona?

Denise is still living in the same property as she was with her husband

private message sent as there was another son born in 1950..mistake made by transcriber on mothers maiden name...so Denise is his wife not the other brothers as 1st thought :-D

I am not going to do any damage that is why I won't be contacting the said Denise as am well aware of what can happen. I am going through 'proper' channels but as have no money to use all the expensive routes am doing the research myself while 'proper' channels do any contacting. But thanks for any help I have gleaned from this site.

I did not write youngER.....I wrote youngEST

Why don't you go through the proper channels.............that way, there will be less risk of your doing real damage.

Yes am related but he may not know he is adopted so don't know how to contact the said Denise as it can open a can of worms he might not appreciate.
Thought she was married to the younger brother but couldn't find the right middle name of John M? Don't know the marriage details due to that.
Couldn't find them in a divorce register and have her address at time of FIL death.
Not sure how to handle this now. Want to get younger brother marriage cert to help pull links together and then somehow find older brother. Hopefully if there was a Will it will give me more.
You are all so helpful thank you so much.

Denise is/was tmarried to the couple's youngest son

It seems strange that you know the adoptive name of the child, but not, apparently, anything else.

Are you related to him?

Did you try and contact Denise. her address at the time should be on the death cert for Stanley.

We looked for children using the surname combination and only found the one natural child born in 1947

Hi, have been trying to find links. Yes the couple is correct. Yes found they had another son in 1947. Found a Denise Lightfoot, d-in-l registered the later of the two parents to die but can't establish a link still with Philip E. How do I find out if they had any more children? Have sent for a copy of the Will incase that can give anything further?
All your previous help was great thanks.

Impossible to give an outtline on an open board as no way round without giving personal issues. that is why so careful to give nothing away.
Yes Philip is adopted name.
Appreciate the help so far.

ErikaH Report 19 Sep 2012 14:46

Why are you looking for Philip? Please give only an outline...nothing personal, as this board is not secure, and privacy issues must be considered.

Was Philip the child's birth name? Or his adopted name?

If you think the people found are correct....buy the more recent of the death certs, for info about the person who registered the death

Susan Report 19 Sep 2012 11:56

Sorry have no more info yet. Was hoping it was an alternative route to finding the son as all other routes have failed due to lack of information. Appreciate the help though. Thanks.

when did Phillip marry. His marriage cert should name his father so you can double check the names we have found.

We have no way of knowing if we have found the right couple .

The name of the informant on one of their death certs may help

Philip and yes adopted in June 1946

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 19 Sep 2012 10:48

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 19 Sep 2012 10:47

Are you sure he was adopted cos this couple had a son in 1947
