Find Living Relatives

I am searching for my mums biological father whos name is derek holden i believe he was born around 1939 or just after in sheffield. He lived above a corner shop at darnall, sheffield which his parents owned and ran in the 60's the shop was on the corner of thames road and harrogate street. I also believe he had a brother called Roy. He was court in as they say with my grandma whos name was hazel jarvis i have pictures of the two of them in high hazels park back in the 60's. My mother was born in 1965 with the name gail jarvis. Derek visited her a few times but then the contact was stopped and she hasnt seen derek since. Any information would be hugely welcomed as we have been searching a long time. Thank you

There's a Derek born 1937 or one born 1944 Sheffield...not seeing a Roy though.

Unfortunatly i dont know any middle names its so hard isnt it. I believe his brother roy was quite a lot older maybe by 10years or so. But i see you searched 10 years either way so thats has confused me alot :( thank you for your advice

Hayley , unfortunately clicking 'marked as answered' may mean people won't look at the thread, as it implies the query has been answered, it's a problem that GR know about but haven't sorted out yet.

Anyway, The Derek born 1937' s mothers maiden name was Armitage....looking at possible Holden/Armitage marriages it seems she may have been married before, so I am just looking to see if I can see any children to the first marriage.

Well, the Derek born 1937 had a brother Albert 10 years older than him? Neither boys had middle initials, so we may not be any further forward.

See if you can track down the ER and hope they are listed at the shop. ER can only be searched by address, so somehow you need to find out what the house number and street is. At least you have 2 road names to work with!

There appear to be 3 children to the previous marriage, Amitage/Child but not a Roy.

The 1944 Derek possibly had a brother Roy in 1926 in Eccleshall Bierlow. That district became part of Sheffield in the 1930s.

That was an accident how do i untick that :/ he wasnt that much older im afraid. I believe roy has passed now not that that helps. I have searched everywhere for the shop name/address no luck as yet. I was also told derek may have moved to durham at sumpoint which set us back yet again. Do any of you think a trip to town hall would be of any benefit are they allowed to help?

Wow nellie and horace! I will research these names against the shop see if i can find more! Thank u all for this your all great

This could be Roy:
