im wondering if anyone could possibly help me with this one,my mum and dad split up in the sixties and mum never had any contact from him since then,before my mum passed away she told me that my dad had bee.n in the armied forces and reason behind them splitting up was because he tried to bring over from abroard a lady and her two children who were of a very young age,having been stationed in Cyprus and not sure elsewhere but she was apparently turned back at the huq of Holland with her kids. I often wonder if theyre were my siblings ,never got the chance to meet my father and ask him as he passed away, now how do I go about finding if he fathered any other children over here possibly London as he was living in Camden at time of his passing .ive been curious all these years and he was young enough to have another family at the time he split from my mum.would be nice to know if the gut feeling ive had all these years is right

Who registered his death?

Have you tried to find out if he re-married?

Did he leave a Will which went to Probate?

his stepdaughter Rita Edith Warry registered his death,i wrote a letter to her many years ago and she was a little hesitant giving me any info apart from telling me he married her mum in 1970,s and that she lived with them and her mum passed then my dad 21 april1980,she would not give me any information and when I tried to contact her again there was never any reply.i think it came as a shock to her to find that he had been married and had kids as he told her mum he had never been married.i told her I didn't contact her to gain anything apart from some info on my dad,i dont know wether he left a will or not,

Alice was born in 1920 so probably too old to have children when she married your father:

No birth in England/Wales matching the 1980 death info

Not on 1939 register

Looks like he was actually born in 1930. Perhaps Rita was unaware there was a 10 year age difference between him and her mum.

He could no doubt have fathered children at any time, but if they weren’t registered in his name, you’ll have very little hope of identifying them.

Born 1944 - death registered Islington 2009

That would probably be why there was ‘no reply’
