Its OK - we don't need details, just that contact was lost in 1996. You might want to edit your post 15 Oct 2016 11:54.

Does your mother still have any paperwork which might have given a new address, or named a solicitor? Really grasping at straws! Possibly his birth cert then research for siblings is the way forward.

My mum and dad never married my mum Is arter and my DOB is 1996 and I'm there first child he was lost in 1996 this i think is why its difficult to find him as we're searching with not much to go on x

There's a 1980 marriage in Bromley reg to an Allen. For elimination purposes, would that be your mother? He'd have been c18 at the time. A possible child was born to that marriage in Lambeth reg in 1985. There are a lot of Johnson/Allen births scattered all over the country - The child may have different parents.

EDIT - Re the 1980 marriage; perhaps not. Are we looking to see where he's gone since 1996?

Looks like a brother married in 1983 still in the Lambeth reg district

And another possible brother in 1973 Southwark area

Look on FreeBMD for the births

Have you tried to contact anyone with possible matches for him or his siblings in their trees on here?

If there are no obvious marriages for his parents, then they did not marry in this country, or it could have been a second marriage for his mother. Have you applied for his birth certificate for her name?

Added:
Try a google search for 'William Hayward Johnson' possibly with Plymouth as well. (You will then get an approximate address in 2013)
