Find Ancestors

Hi all,
As i said i am living in Wales and i was born in Guilford Surrey. My birth family are from Hampshire so it is'nt easy to check on any local records,but i will keep plugging away,and perhaps one day something will turn up. Thanks again to all of you for your kind thoughts and if i get anywhere i'll let you know.

Hi Roger brick walls can always be broken down. Try contacting surrouning church records. You may find family members of your mothers side in the church records. If any of them are alive today, they may be able to give you the infomation you require, this could lead you to your fathers identaty and location. Good luck let us know how you get on.

Hi Roger what was your mothers name and date of birth also place of her birth and yours

Hi Roger
How about trying to speak to people where your birth mother used to live or around where you were born, I know it was a while ago and possibly a long shot but maybe somebody might have that tiny lead you need. An old family friend etc. Good luck I'm going to keep all my fingers crossed for you and your search
Not sure if this helps or not but my mother was born in 1949, a half brother they vaugly knew of turned up a few years ago, some of the family were pleased and keep in touch, but others like my mum find it very hard to accept, so please dont give up or be disheartened.

Kind regards
Siobhan

LfW,
Sorry i did'nt realise i hadn't told you that bit.He is a member on this site.I made contact a number of times,he answered the first couple of times to confirm who he was and who his mother was and then nothing. I told him everthing other than coming out and saying i'm your half brother.The last time i sent a message was about a month ago.
You are all so kind.Thank you all for your thoughts.

Thanks for the support guys. I had never thought of that Jolly, i know who her parents were. I'll start looking for their siblings and perhaps that will open up another avenue.If i get anywhere i'll try and let you now.
Thanks again.

Hi Roger
Please dont give up anything is possible if you try . I dont mean to be rude about your mothers sisters but how can they speak for your brother . When i joined GR about 6 months ago i was looking for my father within 15 mins i got a message from a sister i never knew ,on that day i found i had a half brother & two half sisters it was the best news ever we see each other all the time . Sadly my dad passed away in 1977 but now have big sisters and a big brother who mean the world to me . so please dont give up if i can find mine then i am sure you can find yours . please let me know how you get on . BUT DO NOT GIVE UP .

Thanks LfW but we did contact two of my birth mothers sisters, who were polite but really did'nt seem to want to know. They said they were to young to remember, although one was 18and the other 22,but they did tell me i have a half brother but they said they would'nt let him know about me as it was'nt worth upsetting him.So as you say it does'nt look like i'm going to get much further.I'm getting too old to do much now.I'll just concentrate on my own children and grandchidren
Thanks David

Please can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do next. I was adopted at six weeks old, i know where i was born and i've got my original birth cert.,but it only has my mothers name on it.My wife and i traced my birth mother,but unfortunately she had passed away.
I was born in England in 1946 and adopted privately by a welsh couple where we still live.The place where i was born has been pulled down and the records destroyed,the court that handled the adoption here in Wales burned down along with all the records. All brick walls.Sorry its a bit long winded but if anyone has any suggestions pleas let me know
Thanks David
