Find Living Relatives

Hello All & Happy Easter

My husband has a possible half brother that we would love to find.

Sadly we can only locate the register of his birth registration then it all goes quiet ??

His name was Sean J C Fell - Born in 1952 Lewisham (April-June)

His Mother Joyce Ida Dickens (Lester-Mallinson)
His Father - Grayland Bernard Fell

His parents above split up so we would not be surprized if Sean changed his family name to his mother's maiden name... but we think Joyce might have been married previously before marrying Grayland?... Both his parents have now passed.

Many thanks for any help woudl be wonderful! :-)

Which parent does your husband share with Sean? I'm guessing father, in view of your lack of info about the mother......although there appears to be only one marriage for Grayland Fell, unless he married somewhere other than England/Wales

Have you checked on here in 'search all member trees'?

EDITED

I just did, and I see you have him in your tree. (Contrary to GR guidelines, actually)

I realise that my postings don't help to locate the half--brother, but background can sometimes prove useful -.especially if a name-change has taken place involving old family surnames

Do you know who registered the deaths of the parents?

One of the five trees on Ancestry which include Grayland gives the name of his later partner, born 1942 in Surrey.

I won't name her here in case she's still living.

She was on the Kent ER until 2005, under the name Fell.

Sent PM to Louisa with 2 additional named persons likely to be the sons of Maurice L-M and Dorothy Palmer. They both appear to be living so have not posted their information at this time.

Probate record for Joyce 1967 https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/ Might be worth getting to see if Sean is mentioned?
