Welcome to the boards Paula.

Are you sure you have the date right? According to the records they married in 1966. Did they divorce the same year?

Hello kathleen,

thankyou for your reply no i think they got devoice 1967 because i was a baby.

with kind regards

Paula

Hi Paula - According to the records on http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl Kathleen is correct. Your parents married sometime between Jan 1 and Mar 31 1966. As the entry is listed on the above site, you can search for yourself for free.

Using the references found there, it might be worth purchasing the certificate to find out what his father's name was. With that, it might be possible to backtrack, find his parent's marriage and then any siblings.

Of course, your mother may have more information which could help in the search such as where & when he was born, the names of any relatives and where they lived.

If you haven't already done so, try posting on Forcesreunited, and look for any Naval 'association' sites linked to what you know about him.

hi,

thankyou soo much for the info,

my mum she will tell me much i know donald was in portsmouth in the navy and that he moved and got married again and also he has a son don't know his name.
he moved to wales that is all the info i have.

There is a Welsh ER entry for a Donald S Anderson living in Newport. I'll send it to you by PM, BUT if you decide to write, be very very careful and tactful as it could be the wrong person! Assuming he paid your mum maintenance, any wife probably has knowledge of you, but all the same....

The other voter matches with a 1972 Wesh marriage. It might be best to check with your mum first to see if she thinks that is when he re-married.

Hi

Thankyou i will write a letter and give it a try and i will let you know when i hear a reply back

yes donald payed i think it was 2 pound a week she did not make him pay more.

my mum does not know when he got married the 2nd time .

Maybe having got all this help here. It would be advisable to remove ALL you other threads on the other boards!!

What will happen is that the kind people who do enjoy look ups for others will just be duplicating each other.
