Find Living Relatives

What about the 1964 Durham birth,?

Some of the siblings were Newcastle registered.

i contacted the one found by rose on facebook. it was sadly not my father. the search continues. i do appreciate your assistance

That's helped sort out the siblings, Rose, and confirmed the name of his wife.
I can only find one child from that marriage on FMP - named after his father b1989. It makes you wonder if it was the grandson listed on the ER rather than the son.
Edit - that's not right as the son wouldn't have been old enough to vote.

Found the above Mark on Facebook. Will send you the link.

Rose

If he's Mark L, his parents are now dead but he had 3 siblings.

Rose

Look for his 1963 birth on https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl and make a note of his mother's maiden name.
Then search for marriages between a Hepple and the maiden name 1951-1963.
The first result 1951 has the first names of the people he could have been living with in 2002.

He may have siblings, but you'll notice that there are 2 other Hepple/mmn marriages in the same area.

To search for births for those couples, select births, enter Hepple and the mother's maiden name and a year range 1951-1970. Although there are quite a few, its almost impossible to tell if they are brothers & sisters rather than possible cousins

Give it time - not everyone checks their internet everyday. You can see if its been accessed by looking in your Sent Message box. Unread ones have an envelope icon next to them.
Unfortunately, GR never deletes dormant accounts. That means that if someone has lost interest and changed their email address, message notifications would be lost in the ether.

There are no Hepples linked to the ER address in the phone book http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/ although there are several in the Newcastle-upon-Tyne area. Its possible that some may be related, so may be worth writing a letter? What ever you do, don't phone as you've no idea how old or frail they are.
It possible that the people he was living with in 2002 were his parents. They were married in the early 1950s so could have been born sometime in the 1920s

i have messaged one, i was very reserved in what i wrote but put enough for it to make sense if it is the right M.Hepple. i have not got a reply

I've added while you were posting!

he did not pay maintenance, but he would most definitely know who i am

If we were able to find him, would he be aware of your existence? For instance, even if he isn't named on your birth certificate, did he pay maintenance towards your up-keep?

The Hepples might still live at the address malyon found. Its difficult to be sure as not many of the properties in that road have been sold in the last 20 years or so. That tends to suggest that they are rented.

Have you searched All member Trees - top right under Search?
3 members have Mark Hepple 1963 +/- 1 in their trees, 2 of whom also have the surname Hepple.
Click on the Find out more button to send the tree owners a message, but please be discrete. A suggestion would be to ask if 'their' Mark spent time in the Reading area around the time of your conception. You could mention that 'Mark' was a good friend of your (named) mother.

im unsure of his middle name unfortunately. :(

if its the one above he was on the electrol list only till 2002

there is a mark L hepple born in Newcastle 1963

hi. my name is amber-claire marriott. i was born in Reading, Berkshire in december 1987. I am trying to find my father. I believe that his name is Mark Hepple, he was born in the 60's and he spent a significant amount of time living in the newcastle area. I was also told he may have been in the army stationed at a garrison in the south of england during the 80's.

I have messaged someone on here but i have received no reply. any help i could get with this would be wonderful.

Thank you to all in advance
