Dear Louise,
When you were 8, how old do you think Belinda and David were?
Is their surname definitely Woodward?
Do you know the names of their parents?
Thanks,
Pat

maybe if you could find my dads details derek lawrance woodward born 04/01/1946 in manchester it will give his parents name to go from there... im rubbish at this x

theres NO births listed for Derek L Woodward

The only Woodwards born in Manchester in Jan-March 1946 are girls.
There is a Derek, but he was born in Barnsley, (no L specified).
He could have been wrongly transcribed or completely missed off, - any chance of a strange spelling of Woodward?
