Find Living Relatives

Hi looking for my Dad's side of the family, split up as children. Father Lewis Brooks. He had 4 sons,Brian,Ralph,Ronald and Allen. Allen is my Dad and Ralph and his immediate family we are in touch with,his twin will be 80 this November who I believe is Ronald Brooks. Thankyiu

Ralph and Brian were the twins if that helps.

Perhaps using Search top right and entering the name and 1935 . +Yorkshire could help produce a result,

What research have you done so far?

If you'd tried freebmd, you'd know which two were the twins

The parents.....from freebmd

I'll leave you the pleasure of finding it, and looking for children, if any.

One of the sons is on the ER 2002-2010 - with his mother only..

Thanks jaquelin, there was another brother,Denis? Does the 2 dates mean he died at 1? So sorry,I'm very very new to this so by looking for both my parents family(both given up as children) I'm just tinkering around with names I've been given. My dad has got leukemia and would love for him to find relatives while he can,he found Ralph about 9 years ago but he died 3 weeks back,we found some lovely cousins and auntie though and hope to find some more. My mum's got the sisters in Edinburgh who were given up immediately at birth and would love contact with them,didn't realise though that one thread would suffice lol. Many regards,Julie xx

Yes, Denis died as an infant

This thread is about a different 'set' of people, so no problem.

I'll send you the address for Brian's son via PM.................look in your messages

Even though it goes only to 2013, it may be worth writing, enclosing SAE, in case he still lives there and has merely opted out of the public ER, which many people do. I certainly have.

This MAY be Ronald - his birth was registered JFM 1931

Oh bless, that's so sad,thankyou again. He had the same birthday as my sister. Jaqueline can i be cheeky and ask which site you get your information from as I'd like to register to one if possible and build a family tree. Are the Brooks family on.Ancestry or Genes? There's that many of them. Thanku again,many.Regards. As with my mum's side,I'm going to contact an adoption registry in.Edinburgh and ask for some advice xx

Also lol,there's no mention of my Dad Allen Brooks,obviously I know where he is but not seen his name pop up on your pages x

I didn't look for him, as I assumed you had all his info, and posting info about living people isn't a good idea, anyway, as it's potentially an invasion of privacy

The birth info comes from freebmd.

The later stuff from FMP, which isn't cheap

You can build your tree on here

Do you know when Lewis and Doris were born?
