I agree with rootgatherer, I have had a few of these scenarios with no positive outcome. |

If there is no father named on your Grandfather's birth registration and no father named on his marriage registration, then any possibility would most likely be conjecture. |

Hi everyone I know this is a long shot but I thought i'd try. I am trying to find the father of my grandfather John Martin Shufflebotham (he changed his name in the 1960's to Smith) he was born in 1938 in the Unmarried Mothers Home, Talygarn, Bridgend and died in 1993 of cancer when I was only 18 months so I want to try and find his father if i can. His mother was Martha Kathleen Shufflebotham born in 1916 she never told him who his father was and disowned him but kept his brother who I believe was called Michael who was born in 1940 in Bridgend I believe. My grandfather was then adopted by his Uncle Edwin John Shufflebotham. All I know about my grandfathers father was that he lived in the Pontyclun area in south wales and may have had ginger hair. I believe he may have been married at the time when he had an affair with Martha which resulted in the birth of my grandfather. I understand that this may be upsetting for some other families and for that I apologise sincerely but I must find his father, as I have never known my grandfather I feel I must find his father so I can find out more about him and feel closer to him. It also means a lot to my family especially my mother to find his father to give my grandfather an identity he never had and if possible the family would like to find Michael my grandfathers brother. Any Advice on what I can do? |
