Find Living Relatives

I am trying to find my brothers dad he is Scottish and was born in Edinburgh around 1948-1957, some where in them years.
He was a chef around the year of 1974 he lived in London with our mum
my brothers name is also christopher Alexander Robertson born 1974 hackney,
Please if anyone has any information please

Have you looked to see if he is in anyone's tree on here, and tried to make contact that way?

I did send an email to someone yesterday,
So hoping I hear back from them, x

could he have been already married when he lived with your mum?

it's just that there is a marriage for that name in 1970 in Hackney and that couple had only one child, 2 years later

there are actually 4 trees with Christopher Robertson born Edinburgh 1950 +/- 10 years ... does any of them belong to your son? (edit, sorry, I meant your brother)

the two that show a birthdate of 1940 could belong to the same person but it is worth sending messages to both accounts because one could have a current email address and the other not.

Thank you I will give it ago for my brother thanks x

I have sent a message and fingers crossed
I hope so my brother could do with some happiness x

Please if anyone knows of his whereabouts I would love
To hear from you

Lisa you might have to spend a bit of money to get information ... that may or may not end up being useful

I would get the marriage certificate I referred to ... if it says the groom is a chef you would know you had the right man

this is where to order certificates

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

(if you do, post when you receive it but don't put the personal information here, just whether you think you have found the right person)

and I will send you the marriage details privately, go to your message inbox to read it shortly

as for the messages you have sent, check in your sent messages box to see whether they have been read, if there is an envelope beside them then they have not been read

remember that not everybody checks their email every day ... but also if people have changed their email address and don't come to this site regularly they will not know they have messages


for others' info ... the person who may be CAR's wife is a member of this site and I have passed on related info to Lisa

We don't live at that address now I wasn't even born then,
But I thought this may help people who may have known him xx

no one who knew him then is likely to see this thread in 100 years unless they google his full name for some reason :-)

(in the forum list look next to your thread title and you can see how many people have viewed it, and all the other threads on this board)

I see you have read my detailed private message ... hope it helps ...


... reply received :-)

Yes thank you :-) :-)

This is beginning to become a joke !!!! Send text message and you don't get nothing back, !!!

I looked at the likely members you sent messages to.....the account numbers were about 9/10 years old so there is a good chance they are no longer using the same email address.

Also some people don't look at their emails daily....I only look once a week if that, and I am on the computer all daylong.

Christopher Robertson is not an uncommon name so I would guess there were many born with that name during that period....especially in Scotland (being a Scottish surname)

but the one I'm referring to (don't know where he was born) married in Hackney 4 years before the birth of Lisa's brother in Hackney ... and his first wife remarried w/in 10 years of the first marriage ... it is she who has trees here at genesreunited

member number 215 xxx xxx ... when would that have been?

......... but Lisa I gave you real world contact info for that person, are you going to try it ?

there is some reason to think they might still be in touch

or first get the marriage certificate I suggested by PM to see what the groom's occupation was

Is that too many numbers Joonie? as we are only up to 13 million now

If that is meant to be 2 million then the account would be approx. 10 years old

oops :-D

3 xxx xxx

and

5 xxx xxx

two trees same person ... wait, now I don't even know where I got 215 xxx xxx from !!

oh right it's the number on the end of the string when you click 'get more info' not the member number, where is the headsmack icon

Do I still try and get the certificate !!!!!

As really confused with the bit on here

So is a old record to go on then, coz I am lost ????

Lisa I sent you contact info for the person who married a Christopher Robertson in Hackney before your brother was born, and then married someone else a few years later

name, address, phone number

also the reason why they might still be in touch :-)

you could just go ahead and write her a letter, or get the marriage certificate first to see whether it is likely that the groom was 'your' Christopher Robertson

you can get the certificate with no problem (just don't post any details here of course) if you want to do that

Ok thank you hunni xx

Well the telephone number didn't work I have to check and try again
Done that no good
