Hi
Please can you help with pointing me in the next direction. I am currently trying to track down a lost relative. I have been lucky so far and have found his birth details and had a copy of his birth certificate sent from GRO. This is where I am stuck, He is believed to moved from the area where he was born Lancashire, to Wales. He was born in 1943, how or who do I need to contact to see if I can find him today. Have nothing else to go on as most of the other family members have passed away. I am new to family research so may be missing the obvious.
Regards
Mandy

Check this site first using the search facility above
Hopefully it's not a common name, you could ask Jean for an electoral roll look up over on the Records Office board.
Failing that, you could check for a marriage and then children, they maybe on Facebook or Friends Reunited.
