Hi how old was he when you last heard from him and where where you in Hertfordshire at the time.?
How old was he at the time?
Did he stay with your parents.
Do you have names for your parents?

Do you have an exact date of birth for him? There is a death in 1999 with a dob of 5th Feb 1936 which could possibly be him?

Edit: Ignore the above - it's not the right person.

Contrary Mary,

With Michael's birth being registered in the September quarter, it's unlikely to be him.

More like this one, don't you think?


Births Mar 1936
ROBINSON Michael W Pulham B.Stortford 3a 1329

Mary,

That death would correspond to this birth, and Rose has him born Hitchin/Letchworth not Bishops Stortford.,

Births Mar 1936
ROBINSON Michael W Pulham B.Stortford 3a 1329

However, cannot see birth for 2 brothers and a sister for the Sep 1936 birth. (Unless half-siblings?)

So would that marriage be a possibility then? Patchem

Patchem,

Look for Lewry or Lewery. She has found Paul and and Edwin:

Thanks, Rose.

Found them, but some of those dates on the ancestry thread look wrong.

Hi Rose and patchem

Didn't see anything on here about his birth other than it was in 1936 or I wouldn't have suggested that death.

I'll just edit my previous post. :-)

Have you ordered the MC?
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl shows 5 Robinson/Tuffin births 1960-1970. 2 of them could be twins. They may not all be the children of that marriage although the ones born in Ware probably are

You could use the names to search trees, facebook or other networking sites

Freebmd.org.uk is exactly what it says in the tin..........Free!

You might have clicked on one of the adverts at the top. That could have led you to Ancestry which *is* a subscription site.

Have another go. Just click on the following link as that will take you to the search page
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

To see the details on any certificate, then for this time periiod, yes you will have to pay for them. Each certificate costs £9.25 and should only be purchased from

Use the reference numbers you found on freebmd.
