Patricia - you have posted the same request at least twice - neither carries much info

what are the name so of the people you are looking for and in what sort of time frame

One post per request; house rules.

If Patricia is supernaturally lucky and someone wanders in who recognizes those names ... well, she'll have been supernaturally lucky. People being looked for aren't usually searching the internet for people looking for them.

With some actual information, it's slightly more likely that someone could help find the people in question. Are Peter Asso and William Graham alternative names for the same person? And it's his children who are being searched for?

People here are happy to help and sometimes have ideas about how to find living people. But only if they have an idea of whom they are looking for.

And Patricia, the way to get new attention for your request is to post a new message in your thread, not to start another thread. It's understandable that many people don't get how the system works ...

If Peter Asso is the name of a person you're looking for, you could take a look here:

Peter Asso /William Graham are the same people. Time Frame: I reckon between 1930 and 1945.
The two Leeds children were called Derek and I dont know the name of the girl [brother and sister].They lived in Bramley
The two London children were called Eric and Kenneth.

ok, thats good.

start with waht you know and decide what you want to try and find out,

might be a good idea to see if he married either of the women.

do you know when/why he changed his name? which was his original name?

Update : looks like he was born peter Asso

The name ASSO also features on 192.com.

its unusual and probably worth a shot

Patricia, did you look at the website at the link I posted?

I'm not going to put people's telephone numbers on this site, but if you look at that website you'll find a Peter Asso. How many of them are there likely to be?

I Know Patricia has seen this thread - she has PM'd me.

She thinks Peter changed his name in the 1930/40's - she never knew him as Peter Asso , only as William Graham.

That Google link is still worth a shot - bound to be related I'd have thought, like the Asso's I have found - especially as they are mostly Leeds

JaneyCanuck Report 10 Dec 2007 05:43

That's what I meant -- bound to be related. ;)

The Peter in question in this thread would be a bit old to be that one, if he was born 1913, but the idea that they wouldn't be related (the Peter in this thread having apparently been named for his father) seems a little far-fetched!

have absolutely no idea how old Patricia ( or indeed the peter/william ) is

could be well off the track - who knows?
