I recently found that one of me relatives was a Chiropractor in Harley street in the 1950's to unknown (maybe still there). His name was Richard Singleton-Ward. He wrote a book in 1957 called My Two Hands Talk, which I now have, but I want to find him. I can find no death registered for him so he may well still be alive and very old I have tried the British Chiroprators register and the General Chiroprators Council who have no trace of him. I also have found in in the phone directory of 1965 at 46 Portland Place W1....Anyone know what else I can try to locate him or his family? Thankyou

Thanks Reg I am assuming he went into retirement in 1965-66 because he is no longer in the phonebook and no death around that time, but I just cannot find any record of him doing anythig after 65 Have called a few Chiropractors in Harley Street but they think im nuts, just dont know what else I can do
