I am trying to locate my father Thomas Watson. He has a sister who was last known living in Coleraine, CO Derry N.Ireland.I am not sure of his date of birth but it would be between 1937 and 1944. I was born in July 1964. If anyone knows anything about him please post a message on this board.

You do not give much information,you also probably know more than you realize.
Find your birth certificate,then the marriage of your mother & father,this will give the location,
mothers maiden name & the age's of both parents.
From there you can check on any sibling births,
which will reveal location of births,along with the birth order.
From there you may find more info' from tracing the siblings.
In all likelihood, your father seems to have a broken marriage,otherwise you would possibly know his whereabouts.
If your mother has died, try looking through the BMD indexes,this should reveal the district of registration,giving a clue to where she & your father may have lived.
Electoral Rolls,a bt online telephone search may help,if all fails,then the Social Security may be able to help,if you supply a copy of your birth certificate & NI number proving your identity.
Remember we all die,so be prepared for that conclusion.
