Find Living Relatives

I think that logically you should have either deleted the 2011 post or put additional information on it that would have brought it up to the top of the boards again.

Some people get very officious about duplicates regardless of the amount of information not showing on them.

But if the rr'ing is because of that previous thread the rr'er could have bumped it up themselves.

Because the rr'er did not explain to us why they had done it, we do not know if it was because of the duplication, or possibly because of the date of birth. I assumed the date of birth because nothing else was said.

I would copy all this information over and post it, deleting all the names and unnecessary bits, onto your other thread so that if either goes you still have the information for all to see.

Just a suggestion.

Whoever reported it....

why could you not ask the poster first as to why this thread should not be here or date of birth or what ever to be removed?

Can I suggest you purchase his birth certificate . You should then be able to get a definate idea which mother and baby home you mother stayed in.
Once you know this then apply to the council for information. They are unlikely to gibve out any information but they may be happy to foward on a letter to him, or at least tell you if he is still living. Also look to see if there is a support page on facebook for that mother and baby home.
(This is how my ex discovered his details)

The poster states

( D.O.B to be 21st Feb 1944, in 'maternity home' in Maidenhead )

so it is possible she has the birth certificate.


I wonder if Teresa has the option to delete this thread even though it has be RR
then she can start another brand new thread.
