Find Ancestors

can anyone help. trying to find my lost family i was born in stepney in 1961(my mothers name was susan) then i should have a brother born maybe 5/6 years later

you haven;t given a surname here Peter. Could I suggest that you first look in Search Trees at the top of this page to see if your family feature in other trees on this site

duplicate thread down the page

HI Ann
Peter is new to searching and doesn't know where to start. His surname is Frankland and his mother Susan was MMN Frankland as well. So I guess she was unmarried at the time. Peter was brought up in childrens homes and doesn't know anything about his past family but believes his brothers name is Mark, so this is going to be very hard to trace. I think it's a long shot that some one may recogise something from this post

Hi Wendy - that's why I thought maybe looking at trees on this site might be helpful

I've sent a PM to Peter recommending Facebook, Friends etc.

there are 46 in other trees on this site but the vast majority can be discounted because of the dates

I've PM'd two people with a Mark Frankland in their trees for him

Had a PM from Peter, and I explained how to get back to his thread.

good luck Peter,

Hi Peter,

Right you where born 1961, do you know how old your Mother was then ?
I cannot find a Mark Frankland born in this time frame in Stepney, how sure is he of the facts ? could his Mother have married by then ?

Hi Fairthorn,

How you doing ? it does seem the Susan J is the most likely that would mean she was born in Lancashire, but she moved to Stepney.

Cannot find Mark birth in either place, wonder if she was married by then, or he has the wrong first name.

Hi Fairthorn,

Not sure what you mean if it is the one we think it is her middle name begins with J not R, have to nip of to bed soon, when did you find the marriage having no luck with this brother Mark, wonder if she had him after she married and it was in Peters notes.

Hello this peter frankland thank you all for your comments but where do i start how do istart looking for a family that i have records??? HELP PLEASE

Fairhorn I need to pm you

Hi Faithorn

Have you found the same thing I have will not put details on here, as I think she may also have had a daughter who is on this site,

Peter I will send you a pm.

Same as me?

I think Peter should approach Social Services or someone similar & ask for a copy of his file. His Mum could well be Scottish or Irish & have come to London to give birth.

To contact a family to ask if Susan is his Mum would be wrong & could cause a great deal of upset & distress

Peter thinks his brother/half brother was born in the north east. He doesn't know anything about his grand parents or whether or not his mother had brothers or sisters. He has tried Social Services (although I don't know to what extend) without any success

As Claire says SUSAN may not have been born in England/Wales
so even the marriage in EPPING ( 1965 ) for a SUSAN R may be her !!!!

Best as mentioned Peter buys his Birth certificate to CONFIRM Susan's name . ( she may have a second name)

We need more data to be SURE

I have a bith certificate with my name PETER FRANKLAND BORN 396 COMERCIAL ROAD STEPNEY other that i am lost (THANK YOU FOR TIME) peter
