Can anyone help... I am trying to find out if John Douglas born: March 1920 in Chester. His Parents are John Douglas & Bridget Douglas: Maiden Name - Bridget Murphy Had any brothers and sister or was married to anyone. I have used genesreunited, ancestry, rootweb and other various website and seem to be finding nothing about this man. Can anyone help me located some information, as I am at a total loss, It's strange as i have found information with regards to rest of my family fairly trouble free!

Have you looked in Ireland? His mother sounds Irish, perhaps he went there.
