Hello patchem
I was born 22 years after their marriage and i did have 5 siblings
I was adopted by my mother and i have the papers on the adoption.
All my siblings accept my sister and my brother have now passed away,my sister Jean is in a home and not able to speak. My brother is a year older than me and is in the same situation as myself ,nobody has met Charles

Were you born 22 years after your parents' marriage with about 5 siblings?
Were you adopted by your Mother's new husband after her marriage?
Have you talked to your siblings about Charles?
Some of the older siblings might even have visited grandparents?

So Derek, how was your birth was registered - and under what name? I'm pretty sure this has been asked before, but who was named as parents on your birth certificate?

My mothers name was Agnes Pearce and i never met Charles Greening my mother died in1973 and Charles Greening was never mentioned.And as far as i know he just disapeared

Hi Derek

Did you ever meet Charles, or ask your mother about him? Do you have any idea when he was last seen?

I don't think he was the son of Abraham Greening - the marriage witness George was Abraham's son, so I wonder if they "invented" Charles's father rather than state not known? Just a thought, it often happens.

Hello All
I am amazed with all the support i have got from everyone how do i reply to you all
Del :-D

so he was still around in 1935 !! is he named on your birth cert as you say you think his name is Charles

Why dont you have further info on him .like when he died ?

Age a bit out?
