The property hasn't been listed as Sold for many a year. As long as it isn't a housing association or council property, it possible that a letter sent to them might be forwarded. Put your own address on the reverse to ensure its returned if 'Not Known'.

You can find the entry for free on

Of course, it may be a completely different Robert A Shields.

there was a birth, probably two, to the marriage

find his 1954 marriage here

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

and then search for births with his and his wife's surnames

there are one in Essex SW and one in Epping

there are marriages for both names in Harlow in the 1980s
