Find Living Relatives

Hi, Aussietrish, just responded to your message. Jean is my husbands Mother. He has never met his birth father. No name on the birth certificate or anything.

Lucky to get what little info we did get!

And the family, isnt exactly on talking terms, so all contact details, we dont have. On her side!

Hi, Because you call your mum Jean, I am wondering if you were adopted. If so I wonder if it is worthwhile contacting the authorities and asking if your father is named , DOB, occupation etc. Routinely they do not give out fathers names (if on file)because they assume the birth mom is trying to name some poor random sod as the father. They may release it due to the medical issues.
if you were bought up by your mum, did she recieve maintainance from him. If so might be worth trying to track him via the social security dept. You may need the back up of your daughters doctors for the information to be relaesed.
I assume you have already had a chat to Jeans parents and siblings etc

You also might discover a middle initial if you are lucky.

right i will look into doing that, thank you

You would need to contact the nearest main library to that address to find out who he was living with on the electoral roll

I would have replied to the earlier comments, if I didnt have a seriously ill daughter, that needs 24 hour care, her condition can be fatal.

I have tried everywhere I can think, and so has my husband. The electoral register I found was only 2002 onwards. I'm presuming the last known address we have, was back in the late 80s.

All Jean was willing to give was the last known address she had for him, but dont think I would be allowed to post it? Still new to all of this

Does Jean know his address in Crewe ( or wherever they met) at the time? If so you could check the electoral register to see if anyone lived with him who is more traceable and might know his whereabouts. .

It wouldn't have hurt to acknowledge the replies...............................

Any questions which are asked are to try to help you.....................

We could make all sorts of wild assumptions.....................facts are the currency of research.

However, I would think that your chances of finding this man must be minimal......................if the woman who bore his child doesn't know even when he was born - or where - there is not much hope that anyone else will know who he is.

This is purely being realistic.

If Jean had at least known his DOB, you'd have a glimmer..................

I'm truly sorry that your child is ill - I hope things improve rapidly

I am genuinely searching for a family member - Reggie, there is no need for your comments!

I wouldnt be looking for him, if I wasnt related, and it wasnt important, and possibly DETRIMENTAL, to my seriously ill, 9 month old daughters health.

Well, the OP returned................................!

Please remove the medical reference.................invasion of privacy

Presumably, you've been told you're related............

I just looked on freebmd and searched for Paul Smith from 1950 - 1970 and there were 4587 born in England and Wales between those years

It is very unlikely that anyone knowing him will see this, so you would need to give more accurate info for anyone to be able to help

Looking for a Paul Smith, at one point lived in Crewe, Cheshire.

Had a brief relationship with Jean Whitehouse in the mid 1980's,
Jean is from Wolverhampton,

His approx age, maybe 40s to 60s. Think born mid 1950s though.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
