The only information I have is on my birth certificate. His name is Mark Stephen Johnson, born in Chatham. I'm 21 now, born 1992. Never met him. Any help appreciated.

So was he married to your mum?

If so you should be able to find their marriage which will give his age and his dads name .if known

Ryan

Ryan Report 1 Sep 2013 15:48

Not married, unfortunately.

thanks for quick reply though

My mother passed away. The only information I have was given above. Apologies.

Could you say your mother's year of birth - and any idea if he was a similar age?

Thank-you

Ryan

Ryan Report 1 Sep 2013 18:07

My mother was born 1975.
I understand he was of a similar age.

thank you.

There is a possible birth in Dartford in 1966, but cannot see one in Chatham.

Ryan

Ryan Report 1 Sep 2013 18:20

Thank you, but I'm fairly certain he was/is younger than that. My birth certificate says he was born in Chatham.

patchem Report 1 Sep 2013 18:23

These are born Chatham, but wrong names:
Mark James Johnson 1974 Chatham Kent
Mark Paul Johnson 1973 Chatham Kent

Ryan

Ryan Report 1 Sep 2013 18:38

Thank you. Unfortunately they are the wrong names. It's horrible how difficult this is.

Do you know if he married locally to someone else after your birth, or no further knowledge other than the certificate?

Ryan

Ryan Report 1 Sep 2013 18:45

I have no information of him beyond my birth certificate.

Hi Ryan

Surely your Birth Certificate would say where YOU were born, not where your father was born?

Ryan

Ryan Report 1 Sep 2013 20:01

It states both. I was born in London. He was born in Chatham. I have the certificate on my lap.

Ryan

Ryan Report 1 Sep 2013 20:39

Is there anything I can do without going to a private detective/ people tracing service?

I have my fathers name; Mark Stephen Johnson
Birthplace: Chatham
Est DOB: 1975

That's everything I know..
