Find Living Relatives

Very pleased for you.
:-)

thank you for all i help i got ,,ive found my 3rd brother he lives not 20 minuets away from me ,,hes 58 tomorrow and im 56 tomorrow and ive never seen him since i was 4 good feeling it is ,,,this site is fantastic and i ask people never give up because last november i found my two younger brothers as well ,,they 55 and 54 ,and the good thing thats come out of this they all want me in their life and no one will seperate us again ,im very lucky as i never ever gave up ,,kind regards to everyone xx

ive noticed with all the info that im getting mother used bryant for 4 of her children and used her birth name hansen for just one of my brothers ,,
this hansen/bryant thing is so confusing
but one person did say that her eldest sister could of brought her up ,,maybe ,,because this eldest did marry a bryant and mothers father did die when she was 1 leaving her mother with lots of kids between the ages of 1 and 25 ,,so that could of been one reason ,,
ive never been able to find divorce papers for mother and father ,or re marriages although someone thinks they found a remarriage for mother to a noble
thank you all again

yes thats right he would of been the baby brother born late 1960 and died early 1961 , thank you for the info numbers ,,

none of us where adopted ,,,,myself and my 2 youngest were put in a childrens home , i was about 4 , where as the eldest he was 6 and he went to live with father and his grandmother chapman , was told father didnt have to pack in work cos child was at school ,, i believe mother had another child late 1960 but it died early 1961,this is maybe when parents split up ,, i was fostered out at nealy 5 and the 2 boys together just after that ,they were there about 10 years ? i was with mine for 18 years so they finished their teen years in the childrens home ,

You have put that Charles died in 1939.
This is the only death that I can see, do you know if it is the correct one?

Age at Death: 34

(Or could he have been registered as Hanson?)

No death for 'Annie Hansen' in 1974.
Do you know where?
Thanks

Were you all fostered? Were there any adoptions because the adoption papers might reveal more about your mother.

Perhaps Moya was brought up by her eldest sister and assumed the surname Bryant?

thank you for all your messages ,,,, :-)
answers to some questions ,,annies death is 1974 and charles 1939 these are my grandparents ,,john i dont know ,,father died 2000 whome i didnt know so i dont know who signed for his death ,everything i know i was told a few months ago ,but at the age of 13 i was told i was only fostered and had 3 brothers , i went to see 2 of them and that was 43 years ago and they the two ive found ,all douglas chapman as father but mother used 2 names for us as maiden ,,i do know mothers father died when she was 1 but where bryant came from i dont know as she was wed at 16 so she wasnt wed previous to that ,but i do know her eldest sister annie wed a bryant,
thank you again ,,,,,,sandra

Sorry, just realised, why this was 'familiar'

I hope this is the wrong Moya.

The obituary claims she was born as Chapman, but unfortunately no ages given.

http://announce.jpress.co.uk/1382635?s_source=jpnw_burn

There is a possible marriage for Moya Chapman (no middle initial) in Burnley in 1978.
(I can see 3 births for Moya Chapman, all with a middle initial, so partially ruled these out)
The marriage does not give alternate surnames for her, however.
Will pm it.
She then can be found in 192.com - but it could be a different Moya, not your Mother.

I would think she was "known" under 2 different names, she may have lived with someone but not been married? So she was born Hanson, but may have assumed the name Bryant - hence the marriage index. It often happens, and is a common occurrence.

You should have kept this to together:

Will PM rosepetals to tell her how to get back to her posts

Do you know when Annie or Charles Hansen or John Bryant died?

From the marriage certificates that you have got, what are the names of the Fathers?

I think you also need to get the certificates for the weddings Reggie has found.

Was your Mother the informant on your Father's death certificate?

im so sorry ive just found this box :-(

ODD!!!!!!

Surely any children born to Moya should have the MMN Hansen

Could this be Douglas's death?

There are Chapman/Bryant births in South Shields after 1954, if that is relevant??
They can be found on Freebmd.
The only Chapman/Bryant marriage in the area is the one you have, as far as I can tell, so possibly their children?
