http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Which Stratford and when was he there?

Rose

One member on here has John Wellock born 1946, but no place specified.
Have you tried to contact him?

Stratford and Romford are not that close but both classed as Essex back then

What is your connection to this man?

When was he living in the area you name?

Just realised you did'nt mention Romford in this thread but did on your one on chat

Thats why I mention Romford

Julie was asked to repost here....so its not a duplicate

i have seen the other thread on chat and just wounder if there is a little comfusen with romford

so im woundering if Julie dont no this side of east london
that she may meen that the person she is looking for may of work in romford road stratford area

now there is a romford road in stratford E15
it runs all the way in to manor park

and there is also romford essex
a diffrent place all together


Julie try google map it may help with the area you are looking for

I have lived near stratford and lived in Romford its about 15 miles

192.com shows a Jack D Wellock living in Waltham Abbey in 2005.
The most obvious John D Wellock was born in 1942 in Exeter.
So I think that even if he worked in Romford in e.g. the 1960's, he could have been born anywhere.
Any other clues about him?
Thanks.

Added:
Jack D Wellock married in Waltham Forest in 1968.

Hi all yes sorry Dame Shelley is exactly right. The John Wellock I am looking for worked at Romford Rd Swimming pool as a life guard in the 1960's. I am helping my sister in laws sister who is trying to find her biological father so it could be a bit difficult. All she knows is that he worked as a life guard, he lived in Green St which i think is Stratford He was tallish, glasses smartly dressed and was born about 1946/47 so would be abouit 67 ish now Thanks for all your help so far.

Did the man know about his daughter?

If not, care must be exercised when discussing this issue, as the man may have other family whose feelings should be considered

Have you tried friendsreunited? There is a workplace section on the site

Could he have pretended to be younger than he actually was, or are you sure of the birth year 1946/1947?

Julie this is the centre he would of work at it is now called
Atherton Leisure Centre
189 Romford Rd, London, Greater London E15 4JF

also would say that patchem has the right man that he fant on 192.com
as
Waltham Abbey
Waltham Forest

are areas that you would move to from stratford if you wanted to move and not go that fair away

maybe he change is name from john to jack
thinking it may be time to get his birth cert

Thanks all I realsie it;s a delicate matter and we need to go carefully, but this woman is desperate to find her father and has been trying for many years.
I have passed on thre info to her and have messaged a man on ehre who may be related Just have to wait and see now x

Have you looked at old electoral rolls for Green St?

Rose

No Rose I haven't looked at electoral rolls Where would I find them?

You would need to visit/contact the library closest to that address. They are searchable by address, and I don't know how long Green St. is.

At least you would get his full name.

Rose

green street is a very long street
runs one end from the barking road to the other end that is the romford road

electoral rolls should be at Stratford Library
