Hi, after 8 years I am still searching for David Simpson (Birth Name) born 2nd December 1949 in Durham, North East Area. He was in Medomsley Cottage Homes in the 1950's, and hes birth mum was Freda Simpson. If anyone has any info please can you drop me a message, many thanks

welcome to the boards Sandra :-)

I can see three David Simpson's born 1949 Durham, but none of them have a mother Simpson

Someone else is looking for him - do you know the poster?

I am seeking DAVID SIMPSON (birth name) born in the newcastle area but i am unsure of the county, hes birth mother was FREDA SIMPSON who was born 1928 in barnsley, i think you was adopted through medomsley homes, durham county childrens dept. I am your half-brother PETER NOEL SIMPSON born 1955 in st princess maternity hospital newcastle and i was also adopted. I dont know if you know i exist and i have only just found out about you but i would dearly love to make contact with you. Please get in touch or anyone who may have any info, many thanks.

David's birth was reg in Newcastle T in the March Q in 1950.
Peter's in Newcastle T in Jun Q 1955
Both have mmn as Simpson

As you have said that you are ‘still looking’, you’ve probably already done the obvious; you’ve added your name and his to the Adoption Contact Register
https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records/the-adoption-contact-register

Have you used the Search All Member Trees on this site? There are several possible listings, one being a Peter Butcher who has David as 1949 Newcastle-on-Tyne
Don’t limit your search to Durham 1949, but extend it to Newcastle 1949 +/- 1 and Durham 1949 +/- 1.
If you’re not in contact with the tree owners, send a message to them by clicking ‘find out more’ to ask how they are related.
Make sure that you create a tree featuring David and any other known birth relatives. That way if David or a current relative comes looking for his birth family they will be able to make contact.

David’s birth reg is shown on http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
It is possible to leave a brief message on the site asking for contact. Create a dedicated free email address for this, one that isn’t going to alter if you change internet suppliers – eg @gmail.com @hotmail.com etc etc.

Mike believes that Freda was born Barnley reg in 1928 – if you are certain that this is correct, you could leave a similar message against her birth reg on Freebmd, but be tactful in case legitimate children come across the posting. They may not be aware of half siblings.

Just as important – DO NOT DELETE this thread or your account with GR. We’ve seen in the recent past that other family have made an internet search for a relatives name and come upon a thread. As the original poster had deleted their account, there was no way to make contact.

Should you choose not to re-subscribe, or even if you are on the 14 free trial, just allow the account to lapse so that you become a free member. Paying or trial members can still contact you by clicking on your name. Just remember to update your GR account with any change you may make to the linked email address.
