Thanks Shirley,think this lady would be to old as she was friends with my mum so presuming she had kiddies of same age as my older sisters, it's all a bit like looking for needle in haystack, just know my sisters dad is George Harvey Scott & that he had sister called mona who my mum was good friends with before starting a relationship up with her brother!
My mum has died and the rest of family won't talk of him so can't seem to find out much!

Hi shirley, No obviously it must of been her maiden name but unfortunately I wouldn't have a clue to her married name... It really is all very hard, wish we knew more!!

Just a suggestion .would they be on the electoral rolls.

These won't be online but will be at the main library for the area .

Usually you need an address to do the search but maybe start where your family lived .

Is he named on the birth cert ? Maybe his address was too

He is named on my sisters birth certificate, trouble is he moved about so much, know he lived at bembridge on the Isle of Wight in 1967/68 as that's on my sisters birth certificate but myself n my other sister have different names on ours. But have been told he did live in tunbridge & I was born in Dover . Also. Told my sister with different name on her birth certificate looks the spit of him( we look alike)so all quite strange!
Thought if I find mona I may find him!!

There's no birth reg Dover for a George H Scott from 1925-1940

Edit :I missed the "I" was born in Dover . read it as George was born on Dover

If his name isn't on your birth cert, why do you think this man was your father?

Why do you think that the name on your birth cert isn't accurate?

If your mother wasn't married, the father's name could only be on your cert if the man was there when the birth was registered - or he wrote a letter acknowledging paternity

My mother decided to put half of one mans name & half of another on my birth certificate! It's all rather strange as birthday was celebrated on 23rd for 35 yrs till I got my birth certificate n found out was born on 19th!!i know I don't have his name on my birth certificate but I would like to make contact with him so can possibly fill in missing pieces of the past!

so he would have been on the isle of wight as well as his sister Mona?

If he was living with her at the time again the electoral rolls may help .

If he is on your sisters birth cert then he acknowledged paternity .

Its not unusual for siblings with different fathers to still look alike . I am sure lots of families have the same Ours does!!

As you have the same mother, the 'likeness' is to be expected

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 20 Feb 2014 14:19

Try looking at freebmd......

Go through it systematically............

Look for a birth for George H Scott...............and one for Mona Scott with the same MMN

.....and hope that Mona wasn't her second forename.............
