Hi folks,

Wow that was quick! Yes I think it was from a previous marriage, in fact, I'm sure of it because it shocked me. He did tell me the name but I honestly can't remember. Unfortunately I am no longer in touch with my Dad so I thought I'd go it alone and try and find her myself.

Was this a child by a previous marriage for him?

What area are we looking at?

Hi folks,
A few years ago I spoke to my Dad for the first time in roughly 38 years (I am now 41). My Mother and Father divorced soon after I was born so I am guessing this would be late 1974 or some time in 1975.

My Dad said that before he met my mother he had a daughter who he signed over and was adopted by his ex wife or partner's husband. So clearly I have a half sister somewhere, and I am keen to trace her, if possible.

Dad - Peter Dickson (born 1948)

Can anyone advise how I would start going about my search?

Many thanks,

Jamie Dickson
