hello Michael, do you know anything else about him that could help to locate him?

last known location, whether he had brothers/sisters, whether he married, whether he had children ...

no need to give others' names here, just an idea of the answers could help others to make suggestions

Researching:
You remember me. :)

Slough was in Eton registration district

there was no Richard Sharp birth there in 1945 (including registration in early 1946)

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

the most recent one before 1945 was 1929

there were births elsewhere in Buckinghamshire in 1940 and 1948 ...

I looked for his birth to confirm his info and because this would give his mother's surname which makes it possible to search for sibling births

Researching:
You remember me. :)

Someone on genes has Richard Sharp, 1947, Slough, in their tree on here.

Added:
I think that person may have been born in Eton district, with mmn Sharp.

Thank you for all your replies. He was Born in Slough in 1945 .
He lived at 134 , The Frithe , Wexham Court , Slough , Bucks in the 1960's .
Don't know if he moved . I am a bit confused with all the Districts .
I found a likely match born in Hendon would that count as Slough ?
The one that stands out is this one Richard J Sharp .
I will look into the one's given . thank you .

This tells you what Hendon comprises, it is about 20 miles from Slough:

Are you sure he was actually born in Slough, or just moved there at a young age, or mother gave birth elsewhere for some reason?

No not sure if he was born in Slough . Could have been born elsewhere and moved into that area . He did have a sister .
