Yes. He was married before as well and had a son who may not know I exist.

I believe that is his mother. Am really just waiting for people to read and reply to messages. Thanks for your help

That marriage was Carmarthen in 1941, so his birth away from their marriage place.

There are 2 female births on free bmd for possible children of that marriage, in 1941 and 1949 in Carmarthen
There are also births in West Glamorgan, but look too late

Have you looked for deaths of his parents to find out information on the informant?

This could be the birth of his Mother:
Births Jun 1915
Prescott Elizabeth M Evans Llandilofawr 11a 2625

Birth cert is on its way to be 100% sure but at present i believe his parents were David J Lewis and Elizabeth M Prescott. I'm mainly interested in living relatives, I know there was a sister but i'm unable to find any further info on her.

Rhiannon,

Could you give us any more information at all, otherwise how do you believe we can help if we are working blindfold?

His parents are not confidential, are they?

If you haven't bought certs, you are missing a trick........but it's up to you.

You must do it your way............and no-one can help you.

Why have you come on here asking for help?

Reggie and Jonnie thank you both for your input. As you've asked yes i do have some other information but as it is sensitive i have chosen not to share it with the world. I have done the obvious in searching for siblings etc but to no great avail.

Thanks

Rhiannon

How can you say the data I sent does not match ???

This person has DAVID in his family tree so there MUST be a link !!
Only one David born in BRISTOL in 1943

HIS MOTHER IS A LEWIS BORN IN BRISTOL IN 1941


I have sent his pedigree & his current address plus Facebook

:-S

Rhiannon if information doesn't match ... you have information ?

You may not want to put it here if it is sensitive or about living people, but you should really say that you have it, for instance that you know he had brothers or sisters.

The big question would be, do you know who your father's parents, your grandparents, were.

That is why Reggie said you need his birth certificate, but if you know that already ... ?

That is the essential part if you are to find any relations.

Even if you only know who has mother was, and anything you know about her, for instance if you know when or where she died ...

Who - in their right mind - thought my post of the 13th warranted reporting?

I despair at times at the mentality of some people on here

Rhiannon

Could you take a moment to read and respond to my posts of the 12th.....................thank you

Rhiannon,

Have you applied for his birth certificate for the names of his parents?

Once you have that we can look for their marriage and any siblings.

Thank you Fairhorn. Unfortunately the info given doesn't match.

Did you think to advise Rhiannon that returning to her thread is necessary?

Having looked myself, I think you'll need to get a copy of the birth cert to establish factual info about his parents' names

It would be foolish to speculate as to which possible marriage was theirs...............and that search assumes that the mother married Lewis in her maiden name. Having said that, I feel one could discount the one in Ince district

As the birth was during WW2, the mother could easily have been married before...........

Did you ever know if your father had siblings?

ErikaH Report 12 Dec 2013 11:03

Find his birth.......and the marriage of his parents..............look for births of siblings by inputting the surnames in the appropriate search boxes
