Hi Louise, for your nan and granddad and other family, it makes sense to give their names so anyone who might search the internet for them will actually find this message. Nobody else knows who your nan and granddad were! :-)

if you look at the 'Find Living Relatives' board you can see how many people actually read these messages. Not many. But google will find them if someone searches.

so give their full names, when they were born if you know, etc.


there is a Thomas Anthony Spearman birth in Camden in 1987; do you think that might be him?

was Spearman your mother's name at birth?


have you registered with the adoption registry, so that if he has registered or registers in future, you will be put in contact?

https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records/the-adoption-contact-register

if you put a family tree here with you and Thomas and your mother and grandparents, anyone who searches here will find you that way

just be sure to keep your email address up to date here so that if anyone sends you a message will receive notification

no notification is sent of messages in threads ... unless you click 'Watch This' at the top


you seem to have yourself in three trees here ... make sure your email adress is current in all of them (good idea to have a free online account like at gmail that never changes)



and having given the usual script that Genes Reunited does not make available to people posting here ... if there is no reply from Louise in a day I guess I will send a private message to explain about finding replies to messages ...

in your tree you have your grandfather Thomas Spearman ... I found that by searching for this man who died in Camden

Birth Date: 7 Feb 1920
Date of Registration: Jun 1981
Age at Death: 61
Registration district: Camden

do you know the other person who has a Thomas Spearman born 1920 in their tree here?

at the top of this page click Search and then click Search All Member Trees to find the other person

thank you for all your feed back
my nan was Elizabeth and she was living with Thomas Vincent in 1964
she died in 1988

spearman was my mothers name at birth she never married,
I think my brother Thomas was born in between 1980 and 83

Louise, Thomas Anthony Spearman was born in 1987, as I said up above. His birth fits the information you have.

Someone else by that name was born 9 years earlier, but not in Camden or nearby, and to a married couple.

there are only the three births with the Spearman surnames in Camden before 2005 - you, your sister and that Thomas.


I don't understand what you said about messaging direct.


What I asked also was whether you know the other person who has a Thomas Spearman 1920 in their family tree at this website - that is, someone who may have your grandfather in their tree.

You can see that here

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/tree/results/spearman/thomas?memberkey=0&yearofbirth=1920&yearofbirthrange=0

and you can try to contact that person if you wish, by clicking on the FIND OUT MORE button next to their name. The person may no longer be receiving messages, but you could try.
