Someone has added information to that Tate marriage on ancestry, changing and expanding his name.

However, there are 2 marriages, so information added to ancestry might not be accurate:

Name: John P F Tate
Spouse: Maxted
Marriage: Dec 1945 - Preston, Lancashire
Other: QApr-Oct-Nov-Dec 1945

Name: John F P Tate
Spouse: Corbett
Marriage: Jun 1949 - Westminster, Middlesex
Other: QFeb-Apr-May-Jun 1949

and the Maxted marriage could be this man:

John P F Tate
Mother's Maiden Surname: Pringle
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1923
Registration District: Chester le Street
Inferred County: Durham
Volume Number: 10a
Page Number: 1172

How r you finding all this information ?? i wish i could just find him :-\ x

patchem

patchem Report 3 Oct 2013 23:12

We are looking backwards to try and find relations of his to see if they can give some information about him.
I am using ancestry, which carried records up to 2007 (?)

Did you click on the 192 link - out of date information, but interesting.

Cannot see him on facebook - have you looked?

Its far better to write - it gives people the opportunity to consider their reply.

It's always possible that your Dad hasn't told his current partner about you; If he were to answer the phone within his partners hearing, he might well deny that he is related.

The last time i saw him was in Dover in 1974 and yes i suppose a phone call out of the blue maybe not the way to go about things but wrote 20 to 30 letters 2 yrs ago no reply may be he wants to be left alone x
