Can anybody help with any thoughts on this!!!! Have a man born 1951 wont put his details yet!!! Born in Banbury in Oxfordshire - have copy of his birth cert (First move). What has happened I believe is that his Mother gave him away after he was born - they were boat peeps on the canal (Brilliant stuff to be researching). The Mother disappered not long after leaving her other kids to be bought up by there Grand-parents. Have found a death for her sadly. Can anybody throw up any ideas, thoughts as am trying to trace him. Thanks in advance janey

Jane, glad to see you back on here. (BTW, I used to live a stones throw from Chislehurst - on the council estate down the road from there!!). Now this guy born 1951 you want to trace. Firstly, if its a good surname, you could try looking through the likely area phone book or electoral register. Someone on Records Board offers Electoral Register look ups. You could try the website B4U aswell for the name.

Hi 'H' So glad your back did add to your thread. Was that Eltham or Mottingham?? Have sister and Dad living in both places lol My man have tried to search for him on b4usearch and the man that has elec reg does not have them going back that far, I dont think lol Thanks janey

Jane, are you trying to find out where he is now? Because if so, then isn't it the current electoral roll you would need to search? I'm a bit confused! Kate.

Hi Kate Not as confused as me lol Yes but where do I start with elec reg? You need an address to start with and how do I know where he is? janey
