Find Living Relatives

Birth in 1944 London , fathers name William younger children same mmn
born Birmingham , nine children but no James .

now that's a possibility for sure Kenneth

'Jimmy' could just be a nickname for something else

and I can see one child in particular who might have preferred a nickname !!

that person is currently living in Birmingham (a unique name to trace)

Kenneth did you send those details to Sue?

I think you have found an excellent lead

google "the unusual name" of that child with 192.com as the other search term and you will find his current electoral roll listing

(but the last letter of the given name is W not V)

also, the child with initials H C is living in Coventry, on the electoral roll

neither of them is listed at BT on line

Have sent PM with the information , and had reply stating thinks not correct Thomas
because his marriage in 1966 is correct , I believe I may have confused Sue so
have sent another PM .

this is not an easy one to help out on ... so little feedback from Sue and she does not seem to be really trying to keep up with the info provided

Wayne has a tree here at GR but presumably has not paid a sub so he can't contribute here ... but maybe he could look at this thread and the info being sent to Sue, for himself?

I am keeping up with all the info provided and still trying to get more info from waynes family. we have paid the subscription and tried to look at family trees the one that is on here we do know about but not much info on there. wayne has been looking at info and we have answered the people that have sent us info but maybe I should not send email.I am grateful to all that are trying to help but I am finding this hard myself

Sue, you and Wayne do understand why the family that Kenneth has identified is probably the most likely one of all?

even though the Thomas was born elsewhere (it was wartime remember), all of the other children were born in Birmingham ... and then Coventry

that matches the info you have about Thomas quite exactly

if Wayne does want to contact one of that Thomas's brothers, it would be very easy to do ... as I said, two of them are easily found on the electoral roll


sometimes it is hard to tell what a person who is searching for someone expects to happen

sometimes it seems that they expect someone will read their message and say Yes! over here! I am Thomas!

it almost never happens ... finding someone means looking for them ... and that often means getting in touch with their family to enquire about them ...

Thank you to everyone that has helped looking for Thomas we have been in touch with one of the contacts that Kenneth gave us and it is waynes uncle although his name is Harold he was always known as jimmy. After talking with him for a few hours it has been decided to leave Thomas in the past. Once again many thanks

well done to Kenneth, coming at the problem from the back end and finding the way to the right beginning

that wasn't the uncle I thought might be Jimmy but you found Jimmy in the end :-)

Sue hopefully even if Wayne decides to leave his dad in the past, he may be able to get to know aunts and uncles (there was a very lot of them) and cousins and get back the family connection he was missing
