Assuming Hayward is a middle name, there are 4 men who may fit the criteria with a middle initial H

Hendon reg, now Greater London
Lambeth Reg, now Greater London
Prescot reg, Lancashire.

Did your birth father ever live with you? If so when did he leave the family home & which town was that in?
Does your birth mother have any additional info about him, such as the names of his parents/siblings and were they used to live?

Should you be able to find him, would he have known about you? Would he have told his current family, if he has one, that he has a child by someone else?

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)

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

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?

Lauren Report 15 Oct 2016 11:54

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

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 15 Oct 2016 12:45

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.
