Hi everyone.
Looking for info on my brother in law not seen since 1983 by wife. Details Name: Jonathan George William Warwick
Born: 25/11/1946. Birth Registered 04/12/1946 at North Walsham (Sub District Cromer)
Lived at John of Gaunts Hall, Gimingham Rd, Gimingham, Norfolk.

Tried private detectives in 1995, and i have asked the police and HMRC for help but both said can't help.
Cant find address, marriage details if any or even if he is dead.
Hope someone can help.

maybe there is a reason he doesn't want to be found.

Are you able to tell us the circumstances under which he disappeared?

The 'Salvation Army' are usually very good ....... especially as a 'mediator'.

Have you tried them?

Maybe he doesn't realise - like a lot of people, that Genes doesn't send a message to you to say someone has replied.

I wouldn't be surprised if the chap he is looking for has been living under an assumed name, or left the country or perhaps sadly may have died unknown.

Rather odd, but "not seen since 1983 by wife", but no marriage on FMP that I can see.

I'm assuming that the 'wife' mentioned is John's wife and it's her brother who hasn't been seen since 1983. Has anyone sent a pm to John to tell him that he has replies? He may not know how to go back to a post.

Sorry everyone. Had to go out. FLICK i didn't return the other posting as i got the information i needed and thanked the people who helped on this site.

The part about 'wife' in earlier posting was my wife. Sorry, didn't explain clearly.
He disappeard after family dispute or so i am told by my wife.
The family is as follows:
My wife Mary Godfrey (previous married name) 1958-
Katherine Warwick (unmarried) 1948
Jonathan Warwick (don't know if married) 1946

Also, tried Salvation Army. My wife spoke to them. They couldn't help after their conversation. Don't know why.
According to private investigators that my wife and her sister sent out in 1995 they couldn't find Jonathan.
Seemingly they had a falling out.

No, John, the other posting to which I referred was virtually identical to this one (apart from a few words), and you did not post any replies

John Request Review 4th Sep 2010
I am trying to find Jonathan George William Warwick born in 25/11/1946 in Gimingham ,North Walsham, Norfolk. His sisters are Mary 1958 and Katherine 1948. I am married to Mary. Not seen him since 1983 and used PI's to try and find him in 1995 and no luck there either. Cant find him here or on ancestry or any other family tree. Anyone know of his whereabouts.

John, I would try finding him in the electoral register. Jean has a thread on Records Office and will have a look for you. The thread is "WHO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR".
You might also try Friends Reunited.
(What are "PI's" by the way?!)

Private Investigators?

John................

If someone doesn't wish to be found, it's quite easy to arrange to 'disappear'

brummiejan Request Review 4th Sep 2010
Of course, der. And I agree with you really Flick, he shouldn't be so hard to find with this name- if he wants to be found.

Well as he has three forenames to chose from he could well be going under any of them. He could have dropped his middle names and just be going under Jonathan, rearranged his names etc. It could be quite a task to look up all possible connotations of his name and then look back for births to rule out any people found.

I'm guessing the family have tried putting notices in the local papers in case anyone in the area may have any information?

Sadly so many people go missing and who knows how many people may have died unknown in various locations with no names to put to them, no family to claim them. Or people dont want to be found and assume new names and live lives elsewhere.

If he 'fell out' with his sisters, he may well not wish them to find him

mac Report 17 Dec 2010 16:32

If it was just a family fall out, no need to try to cover his tracks, maybe there is a marriage for him after 1983? There's a few Jonathan marriages, with various other initials on FMP.

JohnG Report 17 Dec 2010 16:40

I am not sure what notices were put out apart from getting the PI's to search.
Have to get more information from my wife before checking further.
FLICK i forgot about that posting as had chaos with job hunting, wife in hospital and moving sister from one care home to another. The one i remember was about Gertrude Wilkinson which was done end October.
Sorry.
I have just tried North Walsham Registry (birth district) to see if they can help and still waiting for them to get back to me.
He used to work with various companies at Heathrow in airfreight. Unfortunately when checking we found those particular companies are out of business and the ones that are still going from that time have no record of him.
OH WELL, Have a happy christmas everyone

Have you tred Facebook or Friends Reunited?

If he was ever notified as being Missing - could the police not assist with some investigations? Such as - has he ever had a passport, has that been used since he disappeared? National Insurance contributions?

I notice you have mentioned HMRC - I guess about paying taxes etc?

DVLA for driving licence / car registrations?

What about any friends he had, like a best friend who he might have kept in touch with?

I'm sure these avenues have been checked anyway, but you never know!

JohnG Report 17 Dec 2010 16:51

No. Didn't even think to look there. Too busy with ancestry sites. Had a few interesting searches including one about Wilkinson Lemaonade Factory in North Shields that was blown up with approx 200 dead in 1941. It was owned and run by my wifes Great grand parents. Cant find any record about that side of family after that except for my wifes grandmother.

Will check Facebook and Friends reunited.

Will have to go out shortly as taking wife to her works christmas party.

ALEXWOOZLE:
I asked a policeman about this and he said that it would have to be my wife that asked.
Didn't think about DVLA.
Also checked the Huntington's Chorea charity as that disease runs in the family.
They said that they would not give out any information and it would have to be my wife that asked and even if found he would have to give permission.

It looks like he wasn't married at 37 then?

What about school friends and co-workers? Do you have his last address?
