hello david,

you need to do a few things if anyone is to help you :-)

first, the chances of John seeing this message are infinitessimal ... but possibly other members will be able to help ... do browse some of the other threads on this board to see how it might work

you need to go into your account and select a board name, so your name on your post doesn't appear as a blank

click 'watch this' at the top of the thread so if anyone replies to it in future you will get a notice (which you will not, otherwise) and always keep a current email address in your account here in case someone replies or sends you a private message

you can click on 'my threads' on the left side to find this thread any time

give as much info here as you can without violating anyone's privacy

are the sisters older or younger?
do they have the same two parents?
do you know John's mother's surname?
that would be the only way to identify his birth for sure

if they had the same mother but not the same father, for instance, their surnames would be different but the mother's surname shown when their birth was registered would be the same, and this could help match them to John and identify his birth

identifying his birth would give you his age and possibly a middle name if you don't know it

you can see how it works by searching here
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

for John Abbott, born 1941-1945, for example ... and you will see there were dozens of them

probably you won't know to look here for replies ... please post a reply here yourself (the box at the bottom) if you do see these replies ... othewise someone will send you a private message to please return to your thread if you would like help ...


edit 27 feb, PM sent asking David to return

Both the deceased John Abbotts that Ann has posted appear to have been born in Leigh, no connection as to surname of mother, or father's name of David, so far as I can tell from matching marriages on freebmd.

re john abbott father was david McEwen abbott could have been born in Scotland maybe john was also many thanks DAVID

Mary Mee married David Abbott in 1939 in Scotland

http://scotlandspeople.gov.uk

found via free search, but credits needed to look at details

1940-1945 there were 8 John Abbott births in Scotland

That list can be obtained for only one credit (mine have expired or I would have)

and I think the list would show mother's surname for each birth? so the right one could be identified, if he was born in Scotland

this doesn't help a lot for finding him unfortunately, but at least you would have accurate info about him to be getting on with

(his actual birth certificate is not available on line and would have to be ordered, but would give more info about the parents)
