This is one of those posts which is very difficult to help with. I understand your desire to contact your children, but i agree with the others there are better ways of doing so. Are you in contact with her mother? Could you not write a letter to her and enclose a letter for your children. I would advise keeping the letter lighthearted and not too intimidating...

Guys as his eldest daughter is already 18 doesn't that make her an adult in her own right and therefore not a child? these kids are afterall 19 & 16?

You are right it was wrong of me to post out this message, i have had all sorts of conning websites that reckon they can help me find?. I have turned to this site as i know that it is honest and the people who use it are careful. I have had no contact with my children and would only like to get a message to them to let them know that i love and miss them both. I would just like to know that they are safe and happy. And thank you all for taking the time to read and reply to my post

Agree with Minnie. It's easy to get carried away with using one's skills to help other people, but this isn't the kind of info that belongs in public. The original poster presumably knows his children's and their mother's names, and what we strangers should likely do is direct him to resources where he could search and seek assistance.

It's one reason why I find the UK rules about access to birth/marriage/death info so very strange. People may have very good reason for not wanting other people to be able to find and contact them, and allowing public access to things like recent marriages and births (it being possible to identify someone's children by the combination of surnames, once a marriage is identified) seems like an incredible violation of privacy to me, as a Canadian used to extremely stiff privacy rules.

Good for genealogists, maybe not good for children and other living people. ;)

There is very good reason why we should not put the names of living people in messages, especially those of Minors.

Here we go, with no knowledge whatsoever of circumstances, advising a chap on how to contact these children.



This really isnt the right place poster, sorry

You could try contacting the LEA at Enfield Civic Centre & asking them if they will pass on a message. (Will only work if the children are still in the area)

A surname would help searchers.
